The evidence of the coins is against Ibn Batūṭah who says that the only son of Fakhr-al-Dīn was killed by Shaida, but Ibn Batūṭah may have been mistaken in describing the deceased as his only son. The fact that Ikhtiyar-al-Dīn Ghazi Shah issued coins from Sonargaon shows that he had established an independent kingdom in a part of Sonargaon. This he may have done during Fakhr-al-Dīn's life-time. - [Previous: c10.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.68) - [Next: c10.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.70) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.69](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.69) · Pramāṇa
