Comment
Another example with slight text placement variation on obverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jalal al-Din Firuz Khilji, who was the first Sultan of the Khilji dynasty and ruled the Sultanate of Delhi from 1290 to 1296. He was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, and his coinage reflects the influence of both Islamic and Hindu traditions. The 1 Tanka coin, made of silver and weighing 10.7 grams, features inscriptions in both Arabic and Nagari scripts, highlighting the cultural diversity of the Sultanate during that time.
