Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Sultanate of Delhi is that it was issued during the reign of Firuz Tughluq, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. Despite being made of copper, the coin was still considered a valuable form of currency during its time.
