History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c22.15

c22.15

The discovery of a single coin of the type mentioned above cannot lead us to surmise that 'Alāūddīn sent an army to the far off country of Nepal and compelled the ruling Raja to acknowledge his suzerainty and strike coins in his name. Nor is there any mention of commercial relations existing between the kingdoms of Delhi and Nepal, so as to indicate that the coin may be one of the so many used for exchange purposes. The discovery of such a coin is full of interest indeed, but until some further information is available not much can be said on this perplexing point.
