| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend arranged across the field, reading 'al-Sultan Ahmad Shah ibn Mahmud Shah', attributing the coin to Sultan Ahmad Shah III, son of Mahmud Shah, ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate. The inscription is executed in a bold, somewhat irregular Naskh script typical of mid-16th century Gujarati copper coinage. The field shows no figural imagery, consistent with Islamic numismatic convention. The coin surface displays characteristic green and red patination with encrustation from long burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahmad Shah III ruled Gujarat for less than four years before the Mughal emperor Akbar absorbed the sultanate in 1572 — though Ahmad himself was deposed well before that, removed by his own nobles in 1561. This issue dates to his effective reign, a period of acute internal instability during which the Gujarat sultanate was losing coherence faster than it was losing territory. Coinage continued because commerce demanded it, not because the court had any firm grip on monetary administration.
