Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Burhan Nizam Shah II, who was the last ruler of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate. Despite being made of copper, the coin was still considered a valuable form of currency during its time. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and local Indian influences, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Sultanate.
