Comment
Valentine recorded them as of Razia (pg 144, coin 161-62), but as per Goron Goenka they belong to Ghaznavi, Bahram Shah, Refer GZ49 & 50.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Sultanate of Delhi is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of a mosque with a central dome and minarets, surrounded by a decorative border that showcases Hindu influences. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural diversity of the Delhi Sultanate during the 13th century and highlights the artistic exchange that took place between Islamic and Hindu craftsmen during that time.
