Interesting fact
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 resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were used extensively in trade and commerce. Additionally, the use of copper for coins also made them more accessible to the general population, as it was a relatively inexpensive material compared to other metals like gold or silver.
