Jalal al-din Firuz Khalji founded the Khalji dynasty in 1290 after the assassination of the last Mamluk sultan, Muiz ud-din Qaiqabad — a coup that ended nearly eight decades of Slave dynasty rule in Delhi. His sultanate lasted only six years before his nephew and son-in-law Alauddin Khalji had him murdered at Kara in 1296, seizing the throne. Coins of his reign are consequently scarce relative to longer-ruling Delhi sultans, and billon jitals of this type circulated across a monetized agrarian economy that the Khaljis would dramatically reshape under his successor.
