Additional information

Firuz Shah Tughluq's reign was among the longest and most administratively active of the Delhi Sultanate — he ruled 37 years, rebuilt canals, founded cities, and issued coinage on a scale that reflected a deliberately stabilized economy after Muhammad bin Tughluq's catastrophic currency experiments of the 1320s–1340s. His predecessor had introduced a token brass and copper currency meant to substitute for silver, which collapsed spectacularly when the population counterfeited it en masse. Firuz's copper jitals represent a return to more conventional small denomination coinage, stripped of that earlier ambition.
