Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Sultanate of Delhi is that it was used as a currency during the reign of Firuz Shah Tughlaq, who was known for his efforts to reform the currency and monetary system of the empire. The coin was made of copper and weighed 4.54 grams, which was a standard weight for coins of its denomination during that time. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin was widely accepted and used in trade and commerce throughout the Sultanate.
