Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams-ud-din Muzaffar Shah II, who was the last ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate before it was annexed by the Mughal Empire. Despite being a small coin made of silver, it has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
