1 Jital - Firuz Shah

Firuz Shah Tughlaq's reign produced one of the most administratively documented periods of the Delhi Sultanate, yet his copper coinage remains poorly studied relative to his silver and gold issues. He is known to have established a dedicated mint infrastructure and introduced welfare reforms that required sustained revenue management — the proliferation of small copper jitals served the local bazaar economy that silver tanka denominations could not efficiently reach. DR#493 sits in a series where die axis variation and flan irregularity are common enough to be considered normative rather than exceptional.
