Coin India Bahmanid, Ahmad Shah II - Ghani - 1435 / 1457

Year off field.

This copper coin belongs to the monetary tradition of the Bahmani Sultanate, where this type of currency was used for everyday transactions.

The reign of Ahmad Shah II corresponds to an important period of consolidation of Bahmani power in the Deccan. However, he had to contend with persistent rivalries with the Vijayanagara Sultanate. His reign was also distinguished by a strong cultural and religious influence, marked by the influence of Sufism and his relationships with Muslim spiritual figures. Furthermore, the nobles and ministers (amir) gradually gained political influence, foreshadowing the internal divisions that would later contribute to the weakening of the Bahmani Sultanate.
