| Additional information |
Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah ruled Gujarat at its political peak, successfully repelling Mughal incursions under Babur in the late 1520s before eventually being killed in a confrontation with the Portuguese at Diu in 1537. His reign saw Gujarat maintain genuine independence while the Mughal empire was still consolidating — a narrowing window that makes his coinage the last issued by a fully sovereign Gujarat sultanate before the region's eventual absorption under Akbar decades later.
