Sultans of Bengal, Nasir al-Din Nusrat (AH 925-38; AD 1519-31), Tanka, 10.66g, Tirhut Mardan, undated, al-sultān bin al-sultān nāsir al-dunyā wa'l dīn abū'l muzaffar, rev. nusrat shāh sultān bin husain shāh sultān khallada mulkahu tirhat mardan (G&G. B.841), very fine, scarce.
The reading of the mint name as Tirhut Mardan, which would commemorate a military campaign into Tirhut is by no means certain. In JONS 207 (2011), Russel Haque and Nicholas Rhodes suggested the reading could instead be read as Sirhat mardan, i.e. the subduing of Sirhat (Sylhet).
Estimate: £40.00 - £60.00
