Interesting fact
The 1 Jital coin from the Chauhan Dynasty (Indian Northern Dynasties) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in ancient India for coinage. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that the Chauhan Dynasty had a strong economy and was able to produce high-quality currency. Additionally, the weight of the coin, 3.47 grams, is a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time.
