6 Gani - Qutb al-Din Mubarak

Qutb al-Din Mubarak Shah's reign lasted just four years before he was murdered by his own chief minister, Khusraw Khan, in 1320. His billon issues reflect a sultanate economy still digesting the aggressive monetary experiments of his father Alauddin Khalji, who had attempted — and ultimately failed — to impose a token currency system that the market simply refused to absorb. The 6 gani denomination sits in the fractional coinage structure that persisted after that collapse.
