| Additional information |
Nasir ud-Din Mahmud Shah III ruled Gujarat during one of its most precarious decades — his reign coincided almost exactly with the sustained Mughal pressure that would ultimately end the Sultanate's independence in 1572 under Akbar. This tanka was struck roughly twenty years before that absorption, when the Gujarat Sultanate still controlled one of the wealthiest trading ports on the subcontinent at Surat, giving its silver coinage genuine commercial reach into the Indian Ocean trade networks.
The GG#426 attribution places this within a well-documented sequence, though die alignment and flan preparation vary considerably across known examples of this type.
