| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a equestrian figure — a rider on horseback shown in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic, crude style characteristic of early Sultanate jitals that continued pre-Sultanate Ghurid iconographic traditions. Below the horse are short vertical strokes or legend remnants. The overall design reflects the transitional coinage style blending indigenous motifs with Islamic epigraphy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Iltutmish is the ruler who genuinely consolidated the Delhi Sultanate — inheriting a fragile experiment from Qutb ud-Din Aibak and transforming it into a functioning state with its own administrative and monetary infrastructure. His coinage replaced the inherited Ghorid types with explicitly Sultanate issues, a deliberate assertion of independent authority. The Mongol destruction of the Abbasid Caliphate in 1258 was still decades away, so his coins still carry the Caliph's name as legitimizing authority — a political calculation, not piety.
Billon jitals of this type circulated alongside pure copper issues, occupying the workhorse denomination of everyday trade in northern India.
