| Additional information |
Muzaffar Shah III was the last independent sultan of Gujarat, restored to the throne in 1561 after Akbar's forces briefly occupied Ahmedabad. His reign was defined by repeated Mughal encroachment, and he was finally deposed and captured by Akbar in 1572 — the campaign that formally annexed Gujarat into the Mughal Empire. Coins struck in his name thus span both his genuine sovereignty and the desperate final years of a sultanate that had endured for over 150 years.
He died in Mughal captivity in 1593.
