theunsla Valued Member South Africa 112 Posts	Posted 10/21/2018 10:59 am Thanks to the invaluable series of posts from drnsreedhar (and some late nights from my side), I think that I can now at least try to accurately label some of my small collection of Delhi Sultanate coins. Some coins may be upside down. I'm pretty sure of these: Balban copper Jithal (1265 - 1287) Sikandar Lodi 2 Falus (1488 - 1517) Mohammad Shah II (Ala ud din Khilji) copper Gani (1296 - 1316) These ones I'm pretty sure of... Muhammad Bin Sam (1193-1206 AD) Iltutmish (1210 - 1235) And these ones I have my doubts... Ibrahim Lodi Qutub ud-Din Aybak (Turks) 1206 Let's see how many I got right. Report this Post to the Staff
