&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Note: Mahmud I consolidated the Sultanate of Gujarat by winning over Saurashtra and becoming the master of two impregnable forts of the region - Champanir and Junagarh; hence the title 'Begada' ('Be' = two; 'Gad'/'Garh' = fort). Junagarh was wrested from the Chudasama dynasty in 1473 after a two-year siege. Champanir was captured on 21st November 1484 after a siege lasting 20 months. Mahmud spent the next twenty years modifying and embellishing Champanir fort with many buildings. The most noteworthy is the Jami Masjid.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; From AH899 till 906 Mahmud issued a series of specially struck coins from Champanir, now renamed ‘Shahr-i Mukarram Muhammadabad’. This coin although without a mention of date or mint, most likely forms a part of these special issues, likely reason being the laying of foundations of the Jami Masjid. It was completed in 1513 after Mahmud’s death and said to have taken over 25 years for its construction.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This is the first and only known gold octagonal tanka issued by Mahmud Shah I Begada.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
