Very Fine, Extremely Rare.
A rare issue of this short-lived Sultan, who ascended the throne for a brief time after the death of his father Muzaffar II and was duly assassinated by 'Imadul-Mulk, a powerful courtier, who supported the claim of his brother Latif to succeed. The succession dispute was finally settled when Bahadur, the third son of Muzaffar II, managed to secure the throne for himself in the following year.
