One interesting fact about the Ala-ud-Din Muhammad Shah II coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Sultanate of Delhi. The coin was minted during the reign of Ala-ud-Din Muhammad Shah II, who was the last ruler of the Khilji dynasty. His rule was marked by political instability, military conflicts, and economic struggles, which ultimately led to the downfall of the Khilji dynasty and the rise of the Tughlaq dynasty. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of the Sultanate of Delhi during this time.
