Note: Shams ud-Din Adil Shah, the longest-reigning ruler of the short-lived Madura Sultanate, is famous for having issued only two types of gold coinage—both of exceptional rarity in Indian numismatics. His earliest gold, struck in AH 748, is regarded as a probable accession commemorative and is unusually heavy at 13.7 grams, the heaviest known of the series. A decade later, this second gold issue was struck to the standard tanka weight, likely to mark the tenth year of his reign.<o:p></o:p>The coin bears no mint name but features the distinctive epithets&nbsp;al-Halim al-Karim&nbsp;(“the gentle, the generous”), highlighting the Sultan’s cultivated image. Only a handful of specimens are known today, preserved in both museums and private collections.<o:p></o:p>This example is sharply struck, with clear and well-centered legends, and only minor test marks typical of the period.&nbsp;A highly elusive and important issue, never offered in public auction.<o:p></o:p>
