He continued his father’s expansionist policies after succeeding him.Nusrat Shah introduced gold and silver coins in octagonal and round shape. His coins are of rich quality as those of his father. The legends are spread over both the sides. There is no religious expression on his coins apart from ‘Khallada Allah Mulkahu’. However, in some coins, only ‘Khallada Mulkahu’ is found. Dates written on his coins are difficult to interpret in many cases.
