Coins issued by the Malwa Sultans

March 12, 2012

Hoshangabad in Malwa was established by Sultan Hushang Shah who ruled from 1405 to 1435 a.d. and issued nice Copper coins with a distinctive star. These coins are from the Shadiabad Mint (Dar Ul Mulk Shadiabad) and the Goron Goenka Catalog No. is M16.

The reverse of these five coins is equally interesting

Another Malwa Sultan Ghiyath Shah ruled from 1469 a.d. to 1500 a.d.This nice One Falus coin is G&G Catalog M87.
