Qubacha — a former slave-general of Muhammad of Ghor — seized Multan and Sindh after his master's assassination in 1206 and held them for over two decades, minting in his own name while nominally acknowledging Delhi's suzerainty. That arrangement collapsed when Iltutmish marched on Sindh in 1228; Qubacha drowned in the Indus, reportedly while attempting to flee by boat, and his independent coinage ceased abruptly with him.
Billon jitals of this type circulated heavily in the lower Indus valley as fractional currency, and survivors with legible surfaces are genuinely scarce.
