The initial coinage of Bahamanis was modelled on the Delhi Sultanate coinage. However later the Bahamanis adopted their own style.

We feel proud to handle such fine collection of Bahamanis Silver coins in our past Auctions 47 & 48. This is part III of the same collection of a very senior collector.

Broad flan, complete legend on both sides, extremely fine, exceedingly rare. Nadir Shah invaded India in February 1739 under the pretext that the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah did not check Afghan rebels that were giving trouble to the Iranian kingdom. The Mughal army was defeated at the Battle of Karnal on 13 February 1739 and the Iranians continued their march to capture Delhi on 20 March 1739. In a couple of days, skirmishes between the Iranian army and local soldiery led to a horrible massacre of the inhabitants of Delhi and the city was heavily plundered. To please Nadir Shah, the Mughal emperor declared him the king, read the Khutba in his name and coins were struck in his name too. Nadir finally returned to Iran in May 1739 with his loot – which was so enormous that he forfeited tax collections in Iran for the next three years! The terror struck by Nadir Shah was of such magnitude that coins were issued in his name in mints far away from the capital Delhi – such as Ahmedabad, Banaras and Murshidabad. This coin of Ahmedabad mint is a testimony to this famous historical episode. Sold ` ...... Estimate: ` 2,25,000-2,50,000
