| Additional information |
Khusrau Malik was the last Ghaznavid sultan, ruling a dynasty that had been reduced from its eleventh-century apex — when Mahmud's armies reached deep into the subcontinent — to a rump state in the Punjab. The Kurraman mint served this diminished realm during its final decades before the Ghurids extinguished the line entirely, capturing Khusrau Malik around 1186 and imprisoning him until his execution.
Billon jitals of this type circulated in a region where Ghaznavid monetary authority was already being contested by Ghurid coinage pressing in from the west.
