Ghiyath al din Muhammad Damghan Shah, Gold Tanka, 10.53g, Shahr Daulatabad Mint, AH 844, Obv: Arabic legend “al-Sultan al-‘Azam Ghiyath al-Dunya wa al-Din Abu al-Muzaffar Muhammad Damghan Shah al-Sultan”, Rev: Arabic legend in circle “Sikandar al-Thani Yamin al-Khilafah Nasir Amir al-Mumineen”, Mint name and AH date in words in margin (G&G# MD12). Extremely fine, exceedingly rare. Gold coins of the short-lived Madura Sultanate are all extremely rare. On the present coin this fairly ephemeral ruler calls himself, amongst other things, "the second Alexander", in imitation of the earlier Khalji ruler of Dehli, ‘Ala al-Din Muhammad Khalji, however, very little else is known about him so the reason for such a lofty title mainly appears to be vanity than anything else.
