By the time Muzaffar III ascended the throne of Gujarat in 1561AD, the Sultanate had practically fragmented, with various nobles ruling independently in different parts. In Saurashtra, Tatar Khan Ghori had assumed control. His son Amin Khan Ghori succeeded him as an independent ruler of Saurashtra. Amin Khan remained at the helm of affairs for nearly a decade but had to relinquish power after Akbar's first conquest of Gujarat in 1573. When Muzaffar III rebelled against Akbar in 1590, Amin Khan's son Daulat Khan Ghori joined him. He fought on the side of Muzaffar III against the Mughals, at the famous battle of Bhuchar Mori in 1591, where Muzaffar was defeated and the Mughal conquest of Gujarat was complete.

The legend on this coin reads 'Khan Amin' (the letter ष was pronounced as 'Kh') and it clearly refers to Amin Khan. It is quite likely that he initiated this coinage, using the designs of Muzaffar III as a prototype, soon after he acceded his father's office. The precise date of his accession is not known, but 1565-1570 is likely. The date AH969 on the coin most likely refers to Muzaffar III's enthronement. Very rare silver Koris with the same design are also known.
