This exceptional copper 1/2 Gani coin represents a significant piece of medieval Indian numismatic history, minted during the reign of Ala-al-din Ahmad Shah II of the Bahamani Sultanate (1435-1457 AD). The coin, catalogued as BH87 in the G&G reference, weighs 7.86 grams and measures 17.13mm in diameter, featuring intricate Arabic inscriptions on both sides. The obverse bears the inscription "al-wathiq bi-ta yid al-malik lalah abu 'l muzaffar" (He who confides in the support of the king, Allah, Father of the Conqueror), while the reverse displays "ahmad shah bin ahmad shah bahamanshah." Dated AH844 (1440-41 AD), this coin is particularly rare due to the presence of a clear date marking—a feature uncommon in Bahamani copper coinage of this period. Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this specimen exhibits remarkable preservation for its age, making it highly desirable for Islamic numismatic collectors and historians. The Bahamani Sultanate was a powerful medieval kingdom in the Deccan, and coins from this era are increasingly sought after as tangible artifacts of this important historical period.
