Interesting fact

The Kaserah coin is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Fath Shah I, who was the first Sultan of the Kashmir Sultanate to introduce a uniform coinage system. This coin, made of copper and weighing 5.3 grams, was part of that system and was widely used throughout the Sultanate. It's a great example of the economic and monetary reforms that were implemented during Fath Shah's rule, which helped to strengthen the Kashmir Sultanate and promote trade and commerce in the region.
