| Additional information |
The Sultanate of Jaunpur was founded in 1394 by Malik Sarwar, a eunuch who had risen to become the effective power behind the Tughluq throne in Delhi before striking out independently. Ibrahim Shah, who ruled from 1402 to 1440, brought the sultanate to its peak — a court known across northern India for patronage of music, poetry, and the Sharqi architectural style still visible in the mosques of Jaunpur today. This falus belongs to that reign, issued by a ruler who spent much of it in chronic, inconclusive warfare with the Sayyid sultans of Delhi.
