Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams al-Din Iltutmish, who was the third Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate and ruled from 1211 to 1236. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to consolidate the Sultanate's power, and this coin was likely used as a means of facilitating trade and commerce during his reign.
