Nusrat Shah ruled the Bengal Sultanate at its political peak, successfully repelling a Mughal invasion under Babur in 1529 — one of the few rulers in the subcontinent to do so during that period. The Nusratabad mint, likely located in the eastern delta region, was among several provincial mints he operated to assert administrative reach across Bengal's fragmented geography. Silver tankās of this reign are reasonably well documented, but mint-specific attribution remains contested among specialists, with GG#B840 representing one of the more firmly anchored classifications in the series.
