| Additional information |
Bahram Shah's reign lasted barely two years before he was deposed and killed by his own Turkish slave-officer nobility — the same military caste that had brought the Delhi Sultanate into existence in the first place. His coinage therefore represents one of the shortest windows of issue in early Sultanate history. The jital denomination itself was inherited directly from pre-Islamic Shahi coinage conventions and remained the workhorse of small commerce across the northwestern subcontinent well into the thirteenth century.
