| Additional information |
The Malwa Sultanate operated as an independent power in central India from 1401 until its absorption by the Mughal empire in 1531. Nasir Shah ruled from approximately 906–916 AH, a period of relative stability that nonetheless saw Malwa caught between the competing pressures of the Gujarat and Delhi sultanates. Copper fractional issues of this sultanate are frequently underrepresented in reference literature — GG#M141 is among the more obscure citations in the series.
