Ala al-Din Audhauji Shah ruled the Madurai Sultanate for a brief and turbulent period in the mid-14th century, one of several short-reigning sultans in a succession crisis that destabilized the polity established by Jalal ud-Din Ahsan Shah after the Ma'bar region broke from the Delhi Sultanate in 1335. The Madurai Sultanate itself lasted barely five decades before Vijayanagara forces under Kumara Kampana extinguished it around 1378 — making any coinage from its middle reigns exceptionally scarce by simple dynastic arithmetic.
