One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Sultanate of Delhi is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, making it an ideal choice for everyday transactions. Additionally, the use of copper coins helped to promote trade and commerce within the region, as they were widely accepted and easily divisible into smaller denominations.
