Coins Of India - Delhi Sultanate Coins

thanks...

Here is another one that had to be re-attributed. Rajgor Type 872, NWright 170 was classified as Sultana Razia coin previously.



This one has now been re-attributed to Yamin ud daula Bahram shah, the Ghaznavid sultan as GZ50 of G&G.

Dear Amit Kher,
That part of the legend reads "azam".
Letters used to be written in different ways in Persian script those days. A typical example is "He" written a downward spike, rightward spike and with double loops. Letters normally had three form, initial one, middle one and an ending form. Apart from that, some letters like "za" and "ta" shared some calligraphic commonness.
If you search internet, you can find different forms of these letters.
The "Te" like form with a dot above is used for "za" on this type of coin.
Innumerable mint varieties exist for Ala uddin Muhammad shah Khilji's coins. These varieties are only mint variants. I have so far not come across any literature attaching significance to these variations, but could be from the different mints like Delhi, Dar ul Isalam and Deogir all situated in and around Delhi.
