| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular square flan struck in copper by the hammered technique. The obverse bears a two-line Arabic inscription in the field, divided by a horizontal line, reading 'Mahmud [Shah] al-Khalji / bin Nasir Shah'. The regnal year 928 AH appears within the legend. The script is bold and characteristic of Malwa Sultanate coinage, with letters exhibiting the angular, somewhat crude style typical of provincial copper issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Malwa Sultanate's copper coinage from Mahmud Shah II's reign falls within one of the more turbulent periods of the sultanate's decline — his rule was repeatedly destabilized by Rajput pressure from Mewar under Rana Sanga, culminating in a decisive Rajput victory at Gagron in 1519 that effectively reduced Malwa to a subordinate power. Low-denomination copper fractions like this half falus were the workhorse of local bazaar trade, rarely traveling far from their issuing region.
DR#3159 places this among a documented series, though attribution of Malwa copper fractions remains notoriously difficult due to inconsistent die workmanship across the mints at Mandu and Chanderi.
