It appears from his account that the paper currency was well regulated in China under the Mongols. It is strange why Ibn Batūṭah omitted to make mention of Muhammad Tughluq's experiment of token currency. Howorth also mentions 'balish' but he says that its value is not ascertained. The author of the Tarīkh-i-Jahan Kushāi ('Atāmulk Juveni) writes that the balish of gold and silver in weight in gold or silver equals 110 miskals. D'Ohosson says that the value of the balish cannot be definitely ascertained.
