| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered billon coin of irregular flan presenting three lines of Arabic legend within the field, divided by a horizontal rule. The uppermost register bears the word 'Sultani', the middle register reads 'Firuzshah', and the lower register carries 'Muhammad Shah', identifying the issuing ruler Muhammad bin Firuz Shah Tughluq. The script is bold Naskh, characteristic of late Tughluq-period coinage, with letters exhibiting slight crowding at the flan edges due to the irregular striking surface. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muhammad bin Firuz — better known as Muhammad Shah III — was a puppet sultan installed and then discarded by the powerful regent Malik Sarwar within a political framework that had entirely collapsed the Tughluq dynasty's authority. This billon piece belongs to the last convulsions of that dynasty, struck just years before Timur's 1398 sack of Delhi rendered the Sultanate a hollow shell. The rati-based weight standard it adheres to was already archaic by this reign, a system the Tughluqs had inherited and never rationalized.
