1 Jital - Ala al-Din Muhammad

Ala al-Din Khalji's reign saw one of the most aggressive market regulation experiments in medieval Indian history. He imposed state-controlled prices on grain, cattle, and cloth across Delhi — enforced through a dedicated market superintendent and a network of informants — and required that all transactions be conducted in his copper coinage. The jital was the instrument of that policy, not merely a denomination.

His currency reforms also included a disastrous experiment with token bronze coinage that so flooded the market with counterfeits it had to be abandoned entirely by around 1300.
