Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sikandar Shah, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Bengal before it was absorbed into the Mughal Empire. Despite being the last ruler, Sikandar Shah's reign was marked by significant political and military achievements, including the conquest of several neighboring kingdoms and the establishment of a strong central government. This coin, which was issued during his reign, is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Sultanate of Bengal during this period.
