Ghiyath Shah as Wali Ahd or Crown Prince, Gold 1/2 Tanka, 5,54g, Hadrat Shadiabad Mint, AH (87)3, Obv: Arabic legend “al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan Wali Ahd Khalifath al-Zaman (fi al-Alameen)”, Rev: Arabic legend “Abu al-Fateh Ghiyath Shah al-Sultan al-Khalji ba-Hadhrat Shaidabad” followed by AH date in numerals (G&G M51). Extremely fine, extremely rare
The date of Ghiyath Sha’s investiture as ‘crown prince’ by his father Mahmud Shah is not known but the earliest coins mentioning him as such are dated AH861. This suggests that before his eventual succession to Mahmud Shah as Sultan, Ghiyath Shah played an important role in statecraft, with the right to strike coins in his own name which is usually reserved only for the reigning Sultan. He also had a long reign (1469-1500) as the Sultan, so collectively his imprint on the Malwa Sultanate lasted for nearly half a century
