| Additional information |
Firuz Shah Tughluq's reign saw one of the most deliberate monetary conservatisms of the entire Sultanate period — a direct reaction to the catastrophic token currency experiment of his predecessor Muhammad bin Tughluq, whose forced brass and copper tokens had triggered a near-total collapse of market confidence in the 1330s. Firuz Shah restored copper to a straightforward fiduciary role, and the jital series issued under him circulated with a stability that the previous generation of Delhi inhabitants would have found remarkable.
