This exceptional copper coin represents a significant piece of Deccan sultanate numismatics from the Golkonda Sultanate era. Minted during the reign of Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah (1580-1611), this copper unit weighs 2.70 grams and showcases remarkable historical artistry. The obverse features the ruler’s name “Shah/Muhammad Quli,” while the reverse displays an ornate standard on a circular base, flanked by what appear to be peacock feathers—symbolic representations of Ali’s standard, reflecting the Islamic heritage and cultural sophistication of the period.

Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this coin demonstrates excellent preservation despite its 400+ years of existence. The G&G Q12 classification marks it as an extraordinarily rare variety, making it highly sought after by serious numismatists and collectors of Indian sultanate coinage. Its rarity, combined with its historical significance documenting the Golkonda Sultanate’s prosperity and artistic patronage during the Mughal era, makes this piece a valuable addition to any collection focused on medieval Indian history or Islamic numismatics.
