This exceptional copper Falus represents a significant piece of medieval Indian numismatic history from the Khandesh Sultanate. Minted during the reign of Adil Khan III (AD 1509-1520), this coin was struck in the Burhanpur region, a major commercial hub of the era. The Falus, a small-denomination copper coin, served as everyday currency in sultanate territories and reflects the Islamic monetary system of 16th-century India.

What makes this specimen truly remarkable is its extreme rarity and excellent preservation. Weighing 11.04 grams, it features authentic Persian inscriptions on both obverse and reverse, dated AH922 (corresponding to AD 1509-1510), providing precise historical documentation. The coin’s Extremely Fine condition showcases remarkable detail retention despite over 500 years of existence.

For numismatic collectors, this piece offers exceptional value as a tangible artifact connecting Indian, Islamic, and medieval trade history. Khandesh Sultanate coins are scarce in the market, making this an outstanding investment for serious collectors seeking authenticated, historically significant pieces. Its rarity, combined with documented provenance and excellent condition, positions it as a prized addition to any collection of Indian sultanate coinage.
