This is read as AH938&nbsp; (1532 AD) This is a copper falus from the sultanate of Malwa. The most used classification for these sultanate coins is by Goron &amp; Goenka. This likely is G/G type M206.</p><p>To make it a bit complicated, it is in the name of Bahadur Shah, Sultan of Gujarat.</p><p>This was a period of great turmoil. Shortly before the Gujarati had overtaken Malwa. A few years later they had to turn over this territory again, but now to Hamayun, the first Mughal emperor. (And a few years later they got it back again to finally lose it permanently to emperor Akbar)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
