Description
Delhi Sultanate, Suris, Islam Shah Suri(c. 1545-1552CE), Copper Paisa, 20.60grms Minted in Shahgarh, AH959, Mintmark as Lion, G&G#D1014, Very Rare Mint, only a few seems to have surfaced till date. Shahgarh(present-day Bukkur (Bakhar) Fort near Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan) was a short-lived regional mint, active mainly during Islam Shah’s consolidation after crushing Afghan rebellions, resulting in limited output compared to Delhi or Agra. Its importance lies in reflecting Sur military control over frontier territories and Islam Shah’s effort to enforce central authority through coinage. Shahgarh issues are therefore historically significant and less frequently encountered
