Note:&nbsp;The mint-name&nbsp;&lsquo;Mulk Nawalistan&rsquo; is a newly discovered addition to the mints of the Bengal Sultanate and was recently recorded for this ruler from a small hoard of coins. The identity of &lsquo;Nawalistan&rsquo; is uncertain and it may have been erroneously engraved by the die-engraver instead of &lsquo;Mulk Chawalistan&nbsp;urf Arsah Kamru&rsquo; which was known to have briefly operated earlier during the same Sultan&rsquo;s rule.The type is not listed in G&amp;G. The adjective &lsquo;al-Sikka al-Mubarak&rsquo; indicates this was a &lsquo;blessed coin&rsquo;, probably indicating its commemorative nature.
