The Kashmir Sultanate (1339–1586) was a Muslim kingdom established by Shah Mir, whose dynasty replaced the earlier Hindu rulers of Kashmir. The sultanate developed a distinctive Indo-Islamic culture and coinage, reaching particular prominence under Zain-ul-Abidin (1420–1470), remembered for his religious tolerance and patronage of the arts. After periods of internal conflict and rule by the Chak dynasty, Kashmir was conquered and incorporated into the Mughal Empire under Akbar in 1586.
