Sher Shah Suri (r. 1538–1545 AD), founder of the Sur Empire, was a visionary Afghan ruler known for his administrative reforms and strong coinage system. He introduced the Rupiya, the silver currency that later became the basis of India’s modern monetary system. This copper 1 Dam (Paisa), minted in Narnol, weighs Weight: 20.75 g and features a rare and beautifully engraved Islamic star symbol, seen on very few coins. The obverse bears his title “Abu al-Muzaffar Sultan Sher Shah” with the mint, while the reverse praises his reign. Sher Shah’s coinage reflects his authority, precision, and legacy in Indian numismatics.
