1/2 Falus - Nasir Shah

Nasir Shah's reign over Malwa lasted barely two years before his death in 1510, and the coinage issued under him reflects that brevity — types are few, surviving examples sparse. The Sultanate of Malwa had by this point been in slow decline for decades, caught between the expanding Sultanate of Gujarat to the west and the Lodi Sultanate to the north. Small copper fractions like this half falus would have circulated in local markets largely untouched by those geopolitical pressures, which may explain the relative preservation of some survivors.
