Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah ruled Gujarat at its territorial peak, pushing the sultanate's boundaries into Malwa and briefly threatening Mughal consolidation under Humayun, who sacked Champaner in 1535. Bahadur Shah was killed in 1537 during a confrontation with the Portuguese off Diu — boarding a Portuguese vessel under contested circumstances and either shot or drowned in the resulting violence.
Copper tankas of this reign are poorly documented in terms of mint attribution, and die-to-die variation is considerable.
