Comment
These appear to be Northern Indian issues that post date the Delhi Rajas. They are common and very degraded copies of the Madana coinageTye Jitals 1995
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and other metals, typically copper or bronze. The use of Billon in coinage was common in ancient India, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver coins. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the 1 Jital coin still held significant value in the 13th century, with its weight of 3.27 grams indicating its worth as a medium of exchange.
