1/2 Gani - Taj ud din Firuz Shah

Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah ruled the Bahmani Sultanate for over two decades, making his reign one of the longest and most culturally productive in the dynasty's history. He maintained correspondence with the Timurid court at Samarkand and was known for his multilingualism and patronage of Persian scholarship — an unusual profile for a ruler whose copper fractionals were circulating in the Deccan markets.

The Bahmani monetary system divided the gani into smaller copper units for local trade, with the half-gani filling the gap between the larger silver issues and daily commerce in the interior.
