This exceptional copper 1/2 Falus represents a significant piece of medieval Indian numismatic history, minted during the reign of Ala al-din Bahaman Shah (1347-1359 AD) of the Bahamani Sultanate. Weighing 1.74 grams and catalogued as BH21, this coin exemplifies the Islamic monetary system of the Deccan sultanates during the 14th century. What makes this specimen particularly noteworthy is the distinctive slanting legend "Bahaman" on the reverse, a rare typographical variation that adds considerable numismatic interest. The obverse bears the inscription "ala al-dunya wa 'l din" (glory to the world and faith), while the reverse features "Bahaman shah al-sultan," showcasing the sophisticated calligraphic standards of the period. Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this coin displays remarkable preservation for its age, with clear strike details and minimal wear. The Bahamani Sultanate's copper coinage is inherently scarce, making this piece highly desirable for serious collectors of Islamic numismatics and Indian medieval history. Its historical significance, combined with rarity and exceptional condition, positions it as an excellent addition to any specialized collection or investment portfolio. #
