| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in raised relief, naming the ruler Shams al-Din Iltutmish, Sultan of Delhi (r. 1211–1236). The calligraphy is executed in a cursive Naskh-influenced style typical of early Delhi Sultanate coinage. The legend is contained within an unbordered field on the irregularly shaped flan, with the script occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The die is slightly off-center, a characteristic feature of hammered billon jitals of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Iltutmish consolidated the Delhi Sultanate into a functioning independent state after severing its administrative ties to the Ghurid sultanate following the assassination of Qutb ud-Din Aibak in 1210. His coinage reform was deliberate policy — he introduced the silver tanka and copper jital as a standardized bimetallic system, the first coherent monetary framework in the subcontinent under Sultanate rule. The billon jital sits at the lower end of that hierarchy, struck for everyday transaction in a cash economy that was still absorbing the shock of Turkic conquest.
Iltutmish also received formal investiture from the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad in 1229, lending his issues a legitimacy his predecessors lacked.
