Dehlī Sulṭāns – Fīrūz Shāh Ẕafar (AH 791, AD 1389), Dehli Mint – Silver

Numis Sultan wrote: Fīrūz Shāh Zafar had ruled the Delhi sultanate for a very short span of time in AD 1389/ AH 791. Thus his coins of all metals are difficult to get. It is the first known silver tanka, As per its stylization with the inclusion of the caliph name "Abi Abd Allah", it is plausible that it was struck using dies that were made for Gold coinage. It is a new discovery for this ruler that is hitherto unrecorded in the past, Goron and Goenka have not mentioned the silver coins of this ruler in their catalog.
