Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shams-ud-din Mahmud, who was the last ruler of the Qila Deogir branch of the Delhi Sultanate. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 3.93 grams, which is relatively light for a gold coin. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and circulation, rather than being a ceremonial or commemorative coin. Additionally, the fact that it was issued in 1318 suggests that it may have been used during a time of economic growth or prosperity in the Sultanate.
