| Additional information |
Abu Hasan Qutb Shah ruled Golkonda from 1672 until the Mughal conquest in 1687, making him the last sultan of the dynasty. Aurangzeb's forces besieged the Golkonda fortress for eight months before a gate was opened by a bribed official — ending a sultanate that had lasted nearly two centuries. Coins struck under Abu Hasan circulated only within that compressed final period, after which Mughal administration absorbed the Deccan mints entirely.
