Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Sultanate of Delhi is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice in ancient India, where coins were often made from a combination of metals to increase their durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in coinage also allowed for the creation of coins with a lower silver content, making them more accessible to a wider range of people.
