502 Sultanates. Sultans of Delhi. Shams al Din Iltutmish. Silver Tanka, Year 632. AR, 10.82g. Struck at Delhi from the land tax of Kanauj and infidels (G&G D36). Very fine. $ 200
503 Sultanates. Sultans of Dehli. Muhammad bin Farid (AH 837-849 / 1434-1445 AD). Silver Tanka, dated “804”, presumably an error for 840. AR, 11.43g (G&G D671, this date not noted). Good very fine. Very rare. $ 1,000 It should be noted that, on coins of the Sultans of Dehli, a small circle always represents “0” and never “5”, as it does on Mughal coins from the latter part of Akbar’s reign. This means that the date is sure to be an error for 840 rather than being 854 (which would make the coin a posthumous issue during the reing of ‘Alam Shah). It should also be noted that the Sultans of Dehli Silver Tankas of this particular period weigh as much as the Rupees that were introduced a hundred years later by the Suris.
504 Sultanates. Sultans of Dehli, Ibrahim Suri (AH 962 / 1554-1555 AD). Copper Paisa, Year 962. AE, 20.48g (G&G D1165); Abu Bakr (AH 791-793 / 1389-1390 AD). Billon ⅓-Tanka. 3.57g (G&G D572). Both very fine. First very rare, the second scarce. (2) $ 150 All coins of Ibrahim Suri are very rare. This is one of the nicest of his copper coins seen by the cataloguer.
