Mohammed Shah II ruled the Bahmani Sultanate from 1378 to 1397, a reign marked by sustained conflict with the Vijayanagara Empire to the south. The Bahmani silver tanka of this period reflects the sultanate at something close to its administrative peak — before the fragmentation into the five Deccan sultanates that would follow in the next century.
GG#BH51 is not a widely documented variety, and surviving Bahmani silver of this reign appears infrequently in Western auction records, most examples having remained in the subcontinent.
