| Additional information |
Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah ruled the Bahmani Sultanate for over two decades and is remembered as one of its most administratively sophisticated sultans — he maintained diplomatic correspondence with the Timurid court at Samarkand and reportedly kept a personal library of considerable size. The fractional fals denominations issued under his reign reflect a monetized local economy that required small change for everyday transactions across the Deccan markets.
The two-thirds denomination is an unusual subdivision, more characteristic of pre-Sultanate weight traditions persisting into the new Islamic monetary framework than of any centralized design decision.
