Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir ud din Mahmud Shah I, who was the last ruler of the Tuqhluq Dynasty and ruled the Sultanate of Delhi from 1394 to 1413. Despite being the last ruler of his dynasty, Mahmud Shah I was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the Sultanate and improve its economy. This coin, which was made of billon and weighed 8.77 grams, was likely used in everyday transactions during his reign and is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Tuqhluq Dynasty.
