Bahmani Sultanate, Ala ud-din Mujahid (AH 777-779/1375-1378 AD), Hadrat Ahsanabad Mint, Gold Dinar, AH 777, Obv: al-sultan al-Azam zill Allah fi&#39;l alam, Rev: Ala ud dunya wa&#39;l din Mujahid Shah al-sultan within an inner circle, mint name &amp; date in margin, 12.83g, 24.12mm,&nbsp;(G&amp;G # BH45), about extremely fine,&nbsp;test marks, Supreme Rarity.

Bahmani rule commenced at Daulatabad (Fathabad) in the year 1347 AD by Ala ud din Bahman Shah who was supported by other military leaders in rebellion against the Sultan of Delhi, Muhammad Bin Tughluq. The capital was shifted to Gulbarga in 1351 AD and the first eight kings ruled from this capital. Sultan Ala ud din Mujahid Shah Bahmani was the 3rd ruler of the Bahmani Kingdom and the son of Sultan Muhammad Shah I. He ruled at Gulbarga (Ahsanabad) for only a short time of 3 years &amp; ascended the throne at the age of 19 years only upon&nbsp;the death of his father Muhammad Shah I in AH 776/1375 AD. Although the period for which the Sultan ruled his ancestral Kingdom was short, it is considered brilliant as it is said to have witnessed the victorious march of the armies of Islam against the kingdom of Vijayanagar and the abasement of the Raya (King of Vijaynagar).

Soon after his accession, he visited Daulatabad, where he made some administrative arrangements. Then he wrote a letter to the King of Vijayanagar (Bukka I), demanding that he should cede all his territory in the Raichur doab to the Sultan and recognize the river Tungabhadra as the boundary between the two kingdoms. The main interest and ambition for both the kingdoms was to establish their control over Raichur Doab. Being situated in the midst of rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra, this area was very fertile. It is uncertain that the Raya of Vijayanagar refused the proposal or had the understandings between them. The Deccani Muslim historians, Muhammad Qasim Ferishta, Sayyid Ali Bin Aziz Ullah Tabatabai and Rafi ud din Shirazi, does not give the clarity about the conquest and war against the Vijayanagar Kingdom during the reign of Mujahid. There is perplexity whether Mujahid had won against Vijayanagar or had the peace-treaty between them. Mujahid was murdered by his uncle Dawud Khan in 1378 AD, it is uncertain whether he was murdered while campaigning for the retreat to besiege the fort of Adoni or on his way to Mudgal after the peace treaty of Adoni.

The titles he used on the coins where he called himself as the supreme sultan, the shadow of God in the world. His kunya was abu&rsquo;l mughazi meaning the father of battles.
