| Additional information |
Ahmad Shah II ruled Gujarat from 1451 to 1458, a reign largely defined by his efforts to consolidate territory wrested from the Bahmani Sultanate and to manage persistent instability along the Rajput frontier. Copper coinage of this period was minted primarily for local market transactions, and the fractional falus denominations were the workhorses of bazaar commerce across Ahmedabad and the coastal trading towns.
Surviving specimens are frequently found with significant casting irregularities — a known characteristic of Gujarati copper issues of this reign rather than evidence of post-mint damage.
