Bahman Shah, Silver 1/3 Tanka, 3.57g, Obv: ala al-dunya wa’l din abu’l muzaffar bahman shah al-sultan, Rev: yamin al-khilafa nasir amir al-mu’minin (G&G# BH15). Extremly fine, extremely rare. The Bahamanis minted coins in Gold, Silver & Copper. The Gold coins are rare & most of the Silver coins are scarce/ rare. The initial coinage of Bahamanis was modelled on the Delhi Sultanate coinage. However later the Bahamanis adopted their own style. Bahamanis coinage is not only important in the History of Karnataka but it is very important for Indian Numismatic. This was the time the Vijaynagara Empire was established and the next two centuries saw a constant struggle for powers between these two empires. 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.
