| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crudely struck copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading فيروز شاه (Firuz Shah). The legend is rendered in a bold, informal Naskh hand typical of Bahmani copper coinage. The surface exhibits heavy patination with areas of green cuprite corrosion consistent with prolonged burial. The irregular flan edge reflects the unsophisticated hammered production technique of the mint. No decorative border or additional device is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tajud-din Firuz Shah ruled the Bahmani Sultanate for over two decades and was among its most intellectually ambitious sultans — fluent in multiple languages, corresponding with scholars across the Islamic world, and maintaining a court that drew poets and theologians from as far as Iran and Iraq. The copper falus occupied the lowest rung of his monetary hierarchy, used for everyday market transactions in the Deccan while gold and silver issues carried diplomatic and fiscal weight.
The Bahmani mint system under Firuz was notably decentralized, with multiple provincial mints operating across the Deccan, complicating attribution of individual strikes to specific locations.
