Yakgani - Ala Ahmad Shah II

Ahmad Shah II ruled the Bahmani Sultanate during a period of intense factional pressure from the Deccan nobility — the so-called Afaqis versus Deccanis rivalry that would eventually tear the sultanate apart entirely within decades of his death. His reign saw the court at Bidar consolidated as the administrative and cultural center following his father Firuz Shah's chaotic later years. The yakgani denomination itself was the base copper unit of Bahmani accounting, and survivors in any condition are scarce given copper's vulnerability to the Deccan soil.
