Muhammad Shah II ruled the Malwa Sultanate from 1511 to 1516 AD (AH 917–922). He issued coins made of both silver and copper.

In silver, he issued half-tanka and quarter-tanka denominations. The half-tanka weighs approximately 5.0 to 5.4 grams. Coins issued by Muhammad Shah bear legends similar to those of Mahmud Shah II.
