Anytime Drns. I receive so much from this site and its members. Anytime I can give a little back, I'm happy too. Hope you enjoy the ANA. Normally you receive an associate's membership to NGC for how ever long you join the ANA. Being their the official coin grading company of the ANA. So theirs also a assoc. membership to NGC. But will have to check on that one. Have a great day. Amazing coins. |

Token currency - 1.2gms -Do Gani  Muhammad bin Tughlak died issueless. But one Giyaz ud din Mahmud (1351.AD) supposedly his son was raised to the throne. When Firoz marched from Sind towards Delhi,he withdrew his claims. Billon - 2.7gms - Gani Sorry for the poor quality of the images. Mahmud coin is scarce.

Following Muhammad bin Tughlak's death, there was cofusion that culminated in inviting Firoz (1351-1388.AD) to Delhi. He was a ruler who cared for the ruled. He founded many cities including Firozabad and Jaunpur. Half Jital Half Jital...Mint epiphet "Dar ul mulk" above "Dehli" There are varieties with "Firoz" (فروز) above Sultani and below that.

After the death of Firoz, Delhi was in total anarchy. Giyaz ud din Tughlak-2 (1388-89.AD), Firoz shah Zafar (1389.AD) and Abu Baker (1389-90.AD) tried their luck only to fail. Then came Muhammad IV bin Firoz (1390-94.AD). The obv. of this 2 Jital coin is similar to that of "Ala ud din Khilji"(1295-1316.AD).(Ref. DS# 045). But this one is thicker and dumpy. Rev. legend is entirely different.  |
