1 Falus - Muhammad shah II

Muhammad Shah II ruled the Bahmani Sultanate through a period of sustained conflict with the Vijayanagara Empire to the south, and his reign saw the sultanate consolidate control over the Deccan plateau through a series of costly wars. Copper falus coinage of this period was the workhorse of local bazaar commerce, largely invisible to the treasury records that documented gold and silver issues — which is precisely why surviving examples with legible mint details are scarcer than their original production volumes would suggest.
