Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Shuja, who was the last ruler of the Muzaffarid dynasty. Despite his efforts to maintain power, his reign was marked by political instability and external threats, ultimately leading to the downfall of the dynasty. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, and the challenges faced by its rulers throughout the centuries.
