The Bahamani Sultanate, one of the Deccan’s most influential Islamic dynasties, left an indelible mark on Indian culture and governance during the 14th-15th centuries. The obverse features the inscription “ala al-dunya wa ‘l din” (excellence in worldly and religious affairs), while the reverse bears “Bahaman shah al-sultan,” affirming the sultan’s authority.

Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this coin displays remarkable preservation for its age, with clear inscriptions and well-defined striking. The rarity of this fractional denomination makes it particularly sought after by serious numismatists and collectors specializing in medieval Islamic coinage. Its historical significance, coupled with exceptional condition, positions it as both a valuable investment and an educational window into the Bahamani era’s sophisticated monetary system.
