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 other metals, typically copper or bronze. This was a common practice in ancient India, where coins were often made from a combination of metals to increase their durability and longevity. The use of Billon in coinage also allowed for the creation of coins with a silver-like appearance, but at a lower cost than pure silver coins.
