Jital - Khusrau Malik Star

Khusrau Malik was the last Ghaznavid sultan, ruling a dynasty in terminal contraction — by his reign, Ghaznavid authority had been pushed into a narrow corridor around Lahore, all that remained after the Ghurids had seized Ghazni itself in 1150. These jitals were the working currency of that rump state, circulating in the Punjab during two decades of increasingly desperate political maneuvering. Khusrau Malik was ultimately captured by the Ghurids in 1186 and later executed, ending a dynasty that had once stretched from Khorasan to the Ganges.
