Comment
Zain al-'Abidin is the first known Kashmir sultan to have issued silver coins, and the first sultan whose name is listed on known coins.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a mosque with a dome and minarets, while the arches and ornaments showcase Hindu influences. This blending of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Kashmir Sultanate during the rule of Zain al-'Abidin, who was known for his religious tolerance and patronage of the arts.
