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 and was known for his efforts to consolidate the kingdom and promote trade and commerce. Despite his efforts, the Sultanate was eventually absorbed into the Mughal Empire in 1576.
