Additional information

Muhammad II's reign over the Gujarat Sultanate coincided with a period of intense commercial expansion through the ports of Cambay and Surat, where copper fractional currency like this piece moved constantly through the hands of merchants trading with the Persian Gulf and East African coast. The 1½ falus denomination is an unusual fractional unit, likely reflecting local market conventions rather than any centralized monetary reform.
