Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin of Nasir al-Din Mahmud Shah I is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Sultanate of Delhi. The coin was minted in 1250 CE, just a few years after the Mongol invasion of India, which had caused significant damage to the Sultanate's economy and infrastructure. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate calligraphy and ornate designs that reflect the cultural and artistic achievements of the time.
