| Beschrijving voorzijde | Arabic legend in multiple lines within a plain square cartouche, reading 'nasir al-dunya wa'l-din' (Helper of the World and the Faith), the honorific title of the sultan. The lettering is executed in a bold, somewhat crude Naskh-style script typical of early Gujarat Sultanate hammered copper coinage. The field surrounding the cartouche is irregular, consistent with hand-struck flan production of the period. |

Ahmad Shah I founded Ahmedabad in 1411 — the same year he broke from the Muzaffarid governor's seat at Patan and established it as his independent capital — making the earliest falus of his reign effectively the first coins struck under a city that would become one of the subcontinent's great trading centers. The Gujarat Sultanate under Ahmad Shah controlled critical textile and spice routes to the Arabian Sea ports, and copper coinage at this weight standard facilitated the dense local market economy that larger silver and gold denominations could not reach.
The GG#G11 reference places this within George's classification of the early Ahmad Shah copper series, a group complicated by long reign spans and minimal date specificity on the flans themselves.
