Gold
Sultans of Gujarat, Nasir al-Din Mahmud Shah I (1458-1511 AD), Gold Heavy Half Tanka, 6.06g. Shahr-i-Mukarram Muhammadabad Mint, AH 896. Obv: Arabic legend al-Sultan al-'Azam Nasir al-Dunyawa al-Din Abu al-Fath. Rev: In square Mahmud Shah al-Sultan, date and mint around, not listed in G&G.
Unpublished, Very Fine+, Extremely Rare.
No fractional Gold coins are listed for Mahmud I by Goron & Goenka. They list a Heavy Gold Tanka weighing 12g. for this ruler in G&G G82, so this coin must have been struck to the same standard as evident from its weight. Stylistically, the calligraphy and design appear to be crude, but very similar silver coins obviously engraved by the same hand and bearing similar dates, are listed as G&G G110 and G111A.
