Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ala al din Mohammed II Khilji, who was the last ruler of the Khilji dynasty and known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. Despite being made of billon, a copper-silver alloy with a relatively low silver content, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Sultanate of Delhi during that time.
