Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of metals, typically consisting of copper, silver, and sometimes gold. The use of Billon in coinage was common in the Indian Sultanates during the 14th century, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the 1 Jital coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
