G&G D1153. Rare. About very fine It was the Suri ruler, Sher Shah, who introduced a radical and important monetary reform in his realms. He did away with the prevalent billon and small copper coinage of the Sultans of Dehli and replaced it with good quality silver Rupees and 20g copper Paisas; coinage types which formed the basis of Akbar, the great Mughal ruler’s coinage some years later. As often happened, the final years of Suri rule were ones of factionalism and rebellions. Sikandar and his cousin, Ibrahim rebelled against sultan Muhammad ‘Adil. Sikandar enjoyed some initial success but was soon defeated by Humayun, the Mughal ruler, and fled. His coins are all at least rare.
