Bengal Sultanate, Jalal ud-din Fath Shah (AH 886-893/1481-1486 AD), Fathabad Mint, Silver Nazarana Tanka, AH 890, ‘Qadam Rasool’ Type, Obv: Arabic legend “Al-shaykh al-mujawar li-Qadam al-Rasool Jalal ud-dunya wa ud-din Abu'l-Muzaffar Fatahshah al-Sultan ibn Mahmud Shah al-Sultan” in an ornamental lotus border’, Rev: Arabic legend “al-Sultan al-Munawwar ba-Noor al-Mustafawi Ilahi al-Mukhatib Sultan al-zahideen fi al-Yaqat ba-Mushaheedah” in an ornamental mihrab border, 10.55g, 29.89mm (G&amp;G # B629), usual flatness, sharp strikes, gorgeous patina, very beautiful, XF-AU, Exceedingly Rare.&nbsp;Note: In the Bengal coinage, coins featuring religious legends are rare, particularly those minted during Jalal al-Din Fath Shah's short rule. However, uncertainties exist in the legends reported by G&amp;G, especially in the last part of the reverse legend. These inscriptions undoubtedly reference 'Qadam-i Rasool,' the Prophet's footprint, with the Sultan identifying as the Mujawar (close servant or companion) of the shrine. The Islamic belief in the Prophet leaving imprints on rocks, despite not being accepted by Orthodox Islam, led to the creation of shrines around such imprints, akin to 'footprint worship' in pre-Islamic faiths like Buddhism and Vaishnavism.&nbsp;Fath Shah's characterization as a 'servant' and 'Shaykh' at the shrine signifies his piety and inclination toward a less orthodox Islam. While various mints produced coins with these legends, they remain highly rare. Coins from the 'Fathabad' mint, like this one, are distinctive with wide flans and decorative borders around the legends, suggesting they were possibly crafted for special occasions, perhaps during the shrine's inauguration in 1485.
