This exceptional copper Falus represents a significant piece of medieval Indian numismatic history from the Khandesh Sultanate. Struck during the reign of Adil Khan III (AD 1509-1520), this rare coin originates from the Burhanpur region and bears Persian inscriptions on both obverse and reverse, dated AH926. Weighing 11.30 grams with a diameter of 20mm, this specimen showcases the sophisticated coinage practices of the Farrukhi Dynasty. The Falus denomination was commonly used for daily transactions in sultanate territories, making surviving examples particularly valuable for understanding medieval trade and administration. This coin's Extremely Fine condition preserves remarkable detail and clarity, with minimal wear testament to its careful handling over centuries. Referenced in the authoritative work "Khandesh Farrukhi Dynasty, History & Coinage" by Balsekar & Bhamre (Coin Type 10), this piece holds documented historical significance. Collectors prize this coin for its rarity, historical context, and exceptional preservation. It offers a tangible connection to a fascinating period of Indian sultanate rule and represents an important artifact for serious numismatists studying medieval Islamic coinage in the Indian subcontinent. --- #
