Firuz Shah Tughluq (reigned 1351–1388 CE) was a notable ruler of the Delhi Sultanate from the Tughluq dynasty. Known for his administrative reforms, public welfare projects, and architectural contributions, he built canals, rest houses, and several madrasas. Firuz Shah issued coins in the name of the Abbasid Caliph, symbolizing his allegiance to Islamic authority. This 1 Tanka coin, struck at the Hadrat Delhi Mint, reflects both political legitimacy and regional control. Dated AH 767 (1365-66 AD), it bears inscriptions honoring the Caliph and Firuz Shah himself. His reign marked relative stability and development after the chaos of Muhammad bin Tughluq’s rule.
