⅔ Falus - Muhammad Adil Shah Bijapur

Muhammad Adil Shah ruled Bijapur for three decades during which the sultanate reached its greatest territorial extent, briefly controlling much of the Deccan following the 1636 treaty with the Mughals that formalized a fragile regional balance. The fractional falus denominations of his reign were struck to facilitate small-denomination trade in a sultanate whose economy ran heavily on local market exchange rather than long-distance commerce. This ⅔ unit is among the more unusual fractions in the Deccani copper series — most sultanates settled on halves and quarters.
