Additional information

Kaiqubad's reign lasted fewer than four years before he was murdered on the orders of his own general, Jalal-ud-din Khalji, who then founded the Khalji dynasty. Struck during a sultanate already weakened by Balban's rigid court protocols and succession struggles, these billon jitals circulated through a Delhi administration in visible decline.

DR#948 places this among the documented Kaiqubad issues, a reign short enough that surviving attributable pieces are relatively scarce compared to longer-ruling Delhi sultans.
