Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad Shah bin Firuz Shah, who was the last ruler of the Tughlaq dynasty and the Sultanate of Delhi. Despite his short reign, he made significant contributions to the field of art, architecture, and literature, and his court was known for its cultural and intellectual achievements. This coin, which was issued during his reign, serves as a testament to the economic and monetary systems of the time and offers a glimpse into the daily life and commerce of the people living in the Indian Sultanates during the 14th century.
