Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Qutb al-din Mubarak Khilji, who was the last ruler of the Khilji dynasty and is known for his military campaigns against the Mongols. Despite his efforts, the Sultanate of Delhi eventually fell to the Mongols in 1320, just a year before Qutb al-din Mubarak Khilji's death. This coin serves as a piece of history that represents a significant period in Indian Sultanates.
