1 Tanka - Nasir al-din Mahmud shah III

Nasir al-din Mahmud Shah III ruled Gujarat during its final decade as an independent sultanate, a period defined almost entirely by the expanding pressure of the Mughal empire under Humayun and then Akbar. His reign ended in 1554 when Akbar's forces absorbed Gujarat, making issues struck in his name among the last silver coinage produced under sovereign Gujarati authority before the province was fully integrated into Mughal administrative and monetary structures.

The Gujarat sultanate had maintained a remarkably consistent tanka tradition for over a century by this point. Mahmud III's issues represent the closing chapter of that continuity.
