The Coins of Bahmani Sultanate

The sultanate or empire was a Muslim state which was formed on the Deccan plateau in India - one of the great medieval kingdoms of the sub-continent. Areas of the state had formerly been part of the territory of the Satvahanas at the beginning of the first millennium AD, while the sultanate itself was concentrated mainly on the northern Deccan, as far as the River Krishna.
