Comment

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Sultanate of Delhi is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice in the Indian Sultanates during that time period, as it allowed for the production of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The use of Billon in coinage also made it easier to produce coins in large quantities, as it was less expensive than using pure silver. This coin, in particular, weighs 3.46 grams and was issued during the reign of Jalal al-Din Firuz, who ruled the Sultanate of Delhi from 1290 to 1296.
