Comment
Billon coin of 80 Rati with the name of caliph Abu 'Abd AllahInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad bin Firuz, who was the last ruler of the Tughlaq dynasty and the Sultanate of Delhi. He ruled from 1387 to 1388, and during his short reign, he took several measures to reform the currency and the economy of the Sultanate. The 80 Rati coin was one of the currencies issued during his reign, and it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that contains a mixture of metals, including copper, silver, and tin. Despite its relatively small weight of 9.1 grams, the coin was an important part of the currency system of the Sultanate and played a significant role in the economic transactions of the time.
