The dammas/ daniqs of Mawdud are reported in Goron and Goenka’s “The Coins of the Indian Sultanates” and other catalogues, probably owing to the mis-reading of the name “Mahmud” as “Mawdud”. Mawdud gold and silver coins are common, but his dammas/ daniqs are exceedingly rare and could not be confirmed until recently. Coins with the clear "Mawdud) were practically unknown until recently, when a small hoard of them appeared on the market. These coins remain exceedingly rare.
