Context
Mint - Hadrat Deogir (Daulatabad) Coinage : The coinage of Muhammad Bin Tughluq is the most innovative and with the widest range and struck at the largest number of mints in the entire Delhi sultanate. His coins can be divided into 5 categories: (a) coins in memory of and bearing only name of his father; (b) coins in his name, normal circulation; (c) coins in his name, token issue; (d) coins in the name of Caliphs; and (e) joint issues with Sultans of Bengal. Tughluq issued gold and silver tankas on the 96 rati standard and also introduced 2 new denominations in gold and one in silver. This coin is one of those innovations - gold dinar of 112 rati weighing 12.8 g. History : Muhammad bin Tughluq was the eldest son of Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq, the founder of the Tughluq dynasty, and was the 18th Sultan of Delhi reigning from 4 February 1325 to 20 March 1351. In his reign, he conquered Warangal (in present-day Telangana state), Ma'abar and Madurai in Tamil Nadu, and areas up to the modern day southern tip of the Indian state of Karnataka. In the conquered territories, Tughluq created a new set of revenue officials to assess the financial aspects of the area. Muhammad bin Tughluq was also known for his tolerance for other religions and participated in Hindu festivities. He is also known as the Eccentric Prince and Mad Sultan. One of the reasons was in 1327 Tughluq ordered moving his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad (also known as Devagiri) in the Deccan region of India. This turned out to be a major fiasco and in 1335, he decided to shift the capital back to Delhi.
