| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular square hammered copper flan bearing a three-line Arabic legend in raised relief, divided horizontally by a raised linear border. The field carries the Sultan's regnal title and name in bold naskh-style script reading 'Al-Sultan / Ghiyath Shah / Khalji' arranged across two registers separated by a double ruled line. The lettering is boldly struck but shows characteristic irregularity of hand-hammered medieval Indian coinage. The flan edges are uneven, consistent with the variable-weight 40-rati standard of Malwa Sultanate copper issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghiyath Shah ruled Malwa for thirty-one years without fighting a single war — an extraordinary record for a medieval Indian sultanate surrounded by ambitious neighbors. He delegated military and administrative affairs largely to his son Nasir and retreated into a court famous across the subcontinent for its poets, musicians, and the sheer scale of its female household. The copper fractional coinage of his reign circulated through a sultanate that was, by most contemporary accounts, genuinely prosperous and internally stable.
The half-falus denomination served the lowest tier of daily market transactions. GG#M88 is among the less commonly documented fractions from this reign.
