Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin of Shams ud-Din Iltumish 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 the Indian Sultanates during that time period, as it allowed for the production of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than pure silver coins. The use of Billon in coinage also made it easier to produce coins in large quantities, as it was less expensive than pure silver.
