BENGAL SULTANATE, Sultans of Bengal, Ala Al-Din Hussain Shah (AH 899-925 / 1493-1519 AD), Silver Tanka, 10.65g, Fourth Victory Type, Hussainabad Mint. GG#B741

This beautiful silver "Tanka" represents the celebrated "Fourth Victory Type" issued under Ala Al-Din Hussain Shah, arguably the most influential and politically successful ruler of the independent Bengal Sultanate. Hussain Shah's long reign marked a golden era in Bengali history, defined by significant territorial expansions into Assam, Kamru, Kamata, and Jajnagar, alongside a profound patronage of vernacular Bengali literature and culture. This specific variety explicitly commemorates his triumphant military campaigns on its legends. Struck at the premier Hussainabad Mint.
