Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin of Mahammad bin Tughluq (Delhi) 732 (1332) from the Sultanate of Delhi (Indian Sultanates) is that it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that contains a small percentage of silver, but primarily consists of copper and other base metals. This coin, weighing 3.51 grams, was a significant departure from the previously used pure silver coins, and marked a shift towards the use of more affordable and accessible materials in coinage. This change in material was likely a response to the economic challenges faced by the Sultanate at the time, and demonstrates the resourcefulness and adaptability of the rulers in addressing financial issues.
