| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crudely hammered copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic inscription in the field, reading 'Al-Sultan / Mahmud Shah' in a bold, irregular Naskh-influenced script. The lettering occupies the majority of the obverse field, with no border or decorative framing visible. The surfaces show typical characteristics of hand-struck medieval Deccan coinage, including uneven flan edges and variable strike depth. The coin exhibits heavy wear and surface porosity consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bahmani Sultanate was fracturing badly by the time these coins circulated. Mahmud Shah's reign (1482–1518) was effectively controlled by the minister Qasim Barid and then the Deccan nobles, leaving the sultan as little more than a figurehead while the kingdom splintered into the five Deccan Sultanates. Coinage continued to be struck in his name for decades regardless — a political fiction maintained in copper long after actual authority had dissolved.
