Answer:
Once the Delhi sultanate was firmly established
in the 13th century, Indian coinage underwent a
major change. The ancient pictorial tradition of
coinage gave way to the so-called Islamic type of
coins which were sans any pictorial motif.
Islamic type of coins had inscription written in
Arabic script on both the sides and furnished
more information than their ancient counter
parts. It offers Religious and Secular information
The Khalji sultan Alauddin Muhammad Shah
(1296-1316 CE), discarded the name of Abbasid
Caliph from his coins and called himself Yamin-
ul Khilafat (right hand of Caliph). The title was
used for the first time by an Indian ruler. He also
adopted the title of sikander-us-sani (Second
Alexander). This indicates that he was well
aware of the importance of Alexander, and
wanted to be recognised as the second
Alexander.
Qutubuddin Mubarak (1316-1320 CE), the
successor of Alauddin Khalji is known to have
issued coins in gold, silver, billon and copper. He
made a remarkable change in his coin inscription
as he has not only discarded the name of Abbasid
caliph but declared himself as caliph and called
himself khalifullah (caliph of Allah) and
Khalifah rabil alemin (caliph of the lord of the
world). He also adopted the title of sikander uz
zaman.
Muhammad bin Tughluq (1325-1351 CE)
introduced token currency in bronze. It weighed
around 10 gm. and ruler has asked to accept this
bronze tanka at the rate of silver tanka current in
the market.
An appeal inscribed on the coins reads man ata
as-sultan faqad ata rahman (he who obeys king
obeys the God) on one side and Muhr shud tanka
raij dar raijgar banda –e- umidwar Muhammad
Tughluq (sealed as a tanka current in the reign of
slave, hopeful Muhammad Tughluq) on the other.
Bahlol Lodi (1451-1459 CE), an Afghan
established Lodi dynasty in India in 1451 CE and
the dynasty continued to rule till 1526 when
Babar defeated the Lodi sultan Ibrahim Lodi.
Bahlol made some changes in his coinage.
Discarded Gold and silver coins, but continued to
issue billon and copper coins.
Sher Shah (1538-1540CE) has given the term
rupiya to his silver coins, it weighed about 11.5
gms. varies from 11.2 to 11.6 gms. Fractions of
these coins are also reported.
He re-introduced Devanagari legend, inscribing
his name as Sri Ser Sahi on his silver coins.
Sher Shah discarded billon coins and introduced
heavy copper coins.
It is generally believed that the term paisa was
probably given by Sher Shah to his copper
coins, weighed at 20gms.Fractions of these coins
are also reported.
