| Additional information |
Ghiyath Shah ruled Malwa for over three decades, and his long, stable reign produced an unusually consistent copper coinage. The 1½ falus denomination is a fractional unit that appears across several Sultanate traditions but is relatively uncommon in Malwa's own series — most circulation needs were met by the full falus.
Ghiyath Shah's court at Mandu was notably cosmopolitan, and Persian literary sources describe it as a center of considerable administrative sophistication, which likely accounts for the organized fractional denominations his mint sustained across such a long production window.
