| Additional information |
Ala-ud-Din Ahmad Shah II ruled the Bahmani Sultanate during a period of significant territorial consolidation in the Deccan, though his reign was marked by persistent conflict with the Vijayanagara Empire to the south. The Muhammadabad mint — established at the Bahmani capital Bidar after the court relocated there from Gulbarga under his predecessor — struck tankas of consistently high silver fineness, a deliberate policy that helped maintain trade credibility with both coastal merchants and interior markets.
