| Additional information |
Ala al-Din Firuz Shah II ruled Bengal for a matter of months in 1532 before being deposed and killed, making his coinage among the scarcest of the Husain Shahi dynasty's final chapter. The absence of a mint name on this tanka is not an aberration — it reflects a documented practice among certain Bengal sultans of issuing coins without mint attribution, a phenomenon that continues to complicate die-linkage studies for this reign specifically.
