Sikkaji

Sultans of Delhi Coins

The Delhi Sultanate was a time in Indian history when military campaigns, religious governance, and bureaucratic reforms left their imprints, yes, not only on politics or architecture but on coins they issued too. The Sultanate rulers issued coins that imprinted power, religiosity, and authority, usually in elegant Arabic or Persian calligraphy. Our Sultanate Coins collection documents this interesting period in Indian numismatics.

Antique coins of Delhi Sultanate

From the Slave dynasty of the early period to the Tughlaqs and Lodis, all dynasties that ruled issued their own coins, many of which found widespread circulation in northern and central India. The Delhi Sultanate coins were not only utilitarian—they were ideological. Rulers such as Alauddin Khilji brought in reforms that had a direct impact on currency, including a regulation of markets and coin standardization. His coins in silver are still studied today for their craftsmanship and policy significance.

Perhaps the most mysterious character in Indian monetary history, the infamous Muhammad bin Tughlaq dynasty coins are infamous for his sweeping experiments in token money and compelled currency changes. His coins are remarkable because of their staggering diversity and the story of economic turmoil that they tell. These coins remain a major point of interest for collectors and economic historians alike.

At Sikkaji, our expanded collection of Sultanate era coinage spans multiple dynasties and regions. From the earlier Slave and Khilji dynasties to the Tughlaqs, Sayyids, and Lodis, we offer:
