1 Paisa - Fakhr al-Din Mubarak Shah

Fakhr al-Din Mubarak Shah ruled the Madurai Sultanate during a period of sustained military pressure from the expanding Vijayanagara Empire to the north. The sultanate, founded by a breakaway Ma'bar governor in 1335, never consolidated enough to mint on a large scale, and copper issues from this reign survive in notably small numbers relative to contemporary Deccan sultanate coinage.

GG#MD36 is among the later catalog assignments for this ruler, suggesting it belongs to a secondary emission rather than the principal series.
