Note: Ghiyath al-Din Bahadur Shah reigned as the independent Sultan of Bengal from AH 720-724, 1320-1324 AD. His independent rule ended when his brother and rival claimant, Nasir al-Din Ibrahim, sought assistance from the Delhi Sultan Ghiyath al-Din Tughlaq to depose Bahadur Shah. As a vassal of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, Bahadur Shah minted coins in both their names from Bengal. The specimen being presented is an excellent example of this joint coinage of the Delhi and Bengal Sultanates. These specific joint issues are known to have been minted only during the year 728 AH, which is notably the same year that Bahadur Shah rebelled and reasserted his full independence. This particular coin was issued from the mint of Hadrat Sunargaon.

Jalal al-Dunya wa al-Din Abu al-Muzaffar Muhammad Shah al-Sultan, Rev. a lion to right with his paw raised, short legend above "bin Ganesha ibtad", G&G # B342, fine+, very rare. Note: Jalal-ud-din's use of the lion motif was likely a deliberate political strategy, leveraging the animal as a symbol of sovereignty to project his might and dominance over rivals. The coinage from his second reign initially maintained the established style until the year AH 824, when the notable "lion tankas" were introduced. This series is often considered the most remarkable in Bengal Sultanate’s numismatic history. Although various theories exist regarding the adoption of the lion, primarily connecting it to traditional ideas of kingship and authority, the motif's influence continued, appearing on the currency of two successive Bengal Sultans and the rulers of Tripura.

Al shaikh al-mujawar li-Qadam al-Rasool Jalal ud-dunya wa ud-din Abu'al-Muzaffar Fatah shah al-Sultan ibn Mahmud Shah al-Sultan, Rev. al-Sultan al-Munawar ba-Noor al-Mustafawi Ilahi al-Mukhatib Sultan al-zahideen fi al-Yaqat ba-Mushahidah, within decorative ornate border, G&G #B627, very large flan, sharp strike with a very high relief & no test mark or shroff marks, extremely fine, extremely rare. Note: In the realm of Bengal coinage, coins bearing religious inscriptions are infrequent, particularly those struck during the brief reign of Jalal al-Din Fath Shah. There are, however, uncertainties regarding the legends reported by G&G, specifically concerning the latter part of the reverse inscription. These inscriptions unequivocally refer to the 'Qadam-i Rasool,' or the Prophet's footprint, with the Sultan identifying himself as the Mujawar (close servant or companion) of the associated shrine. The practice of venerating alleged imprints of the Prophet on rocks, though not embraced by Orthodox Islam, led to the establishment of shrines around such marks, reflecting parallels to "footprint worship" found in pre-Islamic traditions like Buddhism and Vaishnavism. Fath Shah's self-depiction as a 'servant' and 'Shaykh' at the shrine highlights his personal piety and alignment with a less orthodox interpretation of Islam. While several mints issued coins with these specific legends, they remain exceptionally rare. Coins originating from the 'Khazana' mint, such as the one described, are notable for their wide flans and decorative borders encircling the inscriptions. This distinctiveness suggests they may have been produced for special events, potentially the inauguration of the shrine in 1485.

Note: Ala al-din Husain Shah of the Bengal Sultanate achieved a significant victory over the Kamata Kingdom (Kamru and Kamta) in a war that culminated in 1498 AD with the defeat and imprisonment of the last Khen King, Nilambar. All Tanka dated AH 900 were likely struck to commemorate the conquest of Kamta and Kamru. However, the Bengal Sultanate's rule over Kamata and Kamrup was very short-lived, lasting less than a decade. A confederation of local Assamese chieftains (Baro-Bhuyans) rose in revolt, capturing and killing the Governor of Kamta, Shahzada Danyal (Husain Shah's eldest son), and his officers. This effectively ended the Sultanate's direct control over the area within a decade (around 1509 AD). The region then experienced an interregnum until the rise of the Cooch dynasty.
