| Additional information |
Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Shah ruled Bengal through a period of genuine administrative consolidation, and his silver coinage reflects a mint operation that was, by the standards of the sultanate, remarkably consistent. His reign saw Bengal functioning as one of the wealthiest and most autonomous of the regional sultanates, largely insulated from the chaos that followed Timur's 1398 sack of Delhi and the subsequent Sayyid interregnum that left the Delhi Sultanate a hollow institution.
