Interesting fact
The 1 Falus coin from the Sultanate of Delhi, made of copper and weighing 4.34g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Firuz Shah Zafar, who was the last ruler of the Sultanate of Delhi and ruled from 1388 to 1389. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Indian numismatic history, as it represents a transitional period in the history of the Indian subcontinent, when the Delhi Sultanate was about to be replaced by the Mughal Empire.
