Comment
Reference number: A-1794, square-in-circle typeMu'izz ad-Din Muhammad Ghori , born Shihab ad-Din (1149 – March 15, 1206), also known as Muhammad of Ghor, was Sultan of the Ghurid Empire along with his brother Ghiyath ad-Din Muhammad from 1173 to 1202 and as the sole ruler from 1202 to 1206.
Mu'izz ad-Din was one of the greatest rulers of the Ghurid dynasty and is credited with laying the foundation of Muslim rule in the Indian subcontinent, which lasted for several centuries.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Taj al-Din Yildiz Muhammad ibn Sam, who was the last ruler of the Ghurid dynasty. Despite being the last ruler, he was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to maintain the empire's power and influence. This coin, made of silver and weighing 8.05 grams, is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Ghurid dynasty during his reign.
