This exceptional copper Gani represents a significant piece of Islamic numismatic history from the Bahamani Sultanate, one of the Deccan’s most influential medieval dynasties. Minted during the brief reign of Nizam al-din Ahmad Shah III (AH 866-867 / AD 1461-1463), this coin showcases the sophisticated coinage standards of 15th-century Indian sultanates.

The obverse features the Persian inscription “al-mustansir bi-nasr allah al-qawi al-ghani” (He who seeks aid from the support of God, the strong, the rich), while the reverse bears the ruler’s name “ahmad shah bin humayu nshah al-bahamani,” establishing its authentic provenance. Weighing 16.41 grams with a diameter of 20.81mm, this copper denomination served as everyday currency in the sultanate’s vibrant trading networks.

What makes this specimen particularly desirable is its Extremely Fine condition and rarity—Ahmad Shah III’s reign lasted merely two years, making coins from this period highly sought after by serious collectors. The Bahamani Sultanate played a crucial role in medieval Indian history, and artifacts from this era command premium valuations. This catalogued specimen (G&G BH104) represents both a tangible investment and a window into the artistic and administrative sophistication of pre-Mughal India. Perfect for Islamic numismatists and history enthusiasts.
