This exceptional copper 1 Gani represents a significant piece of medieval Indian numismatic history from the Bahamani Sultanate. Minted during the reign of Ala al-din Humayun Shah (1458-1461 AD / AH 862-866), this rare coin embodies the artistic and cultural sophistication of the Deccan sultanates. The obverse features the Islamic invocation “al-mutwakkil al-karam allah al-hannan al-ghani” (trusting in God’s generosity and mercy), while the reverse bears the ruler’s name and title, demonstrating the sultanate’s Islamic governance.

Weighing 15.88 grams with a diameter of 22mm, this copper denomination was used in everyday commerce during the Bahamani period. Graded as About Very Fine, the coin exhibits excellent preservation with clear inscriptions and minimal wear, making it highly desirable for serious collectors. Its rarity—catalogued as G&G BH97—reflects the limited surviving examples from this specific reign and mint period.

The Bahamani Sultanate (1347-1527 AD) was one of the Deccan’s most powerful Islamic states, and coins from early sultans like Humayun Shah are particularly sought after. This piece offers collectors a tangible connection to a pivotal era of Indian history, combining numismatic artistry with historical significance and investment potential.
