| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered copper flan of irregular roundness bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal bands across the field. The legend reads the royal title and epithet of the sultan, disposed within a simple linear border. The strike is characteristic of medieval Indian sultanate coinage, with weak areas at the periphery due to the hand-struck technique. The field shows natural oxidation and copper patination consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Qutb-ud-Din Bahadur Shah ascended the Gujarat Sultanate throne in 1526, the same year Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi at Panipat and effectively ended the Delhi Sultanate. Bahadur Shah spent much of his early reign watching the Mughal advance with calculated unease, expanding Gujarat's own territory aggressively southward and into Malwa before the inevitable confrontation materialized. This copper falus belongs to that tense interlude — a sultanate at its territorial peak, aware the subcontinent's power geometry was shifting irreversibly.
The fractional falus denomination in copper served the lowest register of bazaar exchange, changing hands daily in Gujarat's commercially active port cities.
