Qutb ud-Din Bahadur Shah, Gold 1/10 Tanka, 1.12g, AH 943, Obv: Arabic legend “Bahadur Shah” in dotted circle, Rev: Arabic legend “al-Sultan Sanah” and AH date in numerals (Not listed in G&G). About uncirculated, rare.
The reign of Bahadur Shah was marked by ebb and flow of fortune with regard to conquests. It suddenly came to an end when Bahadur Shah was drowned off the coast of Kathiyawad (Diu) while fighting the Portuguese naval fleet. Towards the end of his reign, he struck small fractional coins in silver and gold. The purpose of these fractions is not clear but they may have served as emergency payment for his soldiers, fighting the war in Malwa against the Mughal emperor Humayun, when copper supplies from Rajasthan had been impeded.
