Extremely fine, an extremely rare gold issue from this short-lived ruler. Ex Spink auction 12027, 4 December 2012, lot 581. When Taymur Shah died in 1207h he left no fewer than twenty-three sons to compete for his throne. One of these, Humayun Shah, briefly proclaimed himself as ruler but was quickly defeated and blinded by his brother, Zaman Shah, who eventually succeeded Taymur and went on to rule for a further nine years. All coins from Humayun Shah's ephemeral reign are extremely rare.
