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 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.
