INDIAN & ISLAMIC COINS THE AL-SAYYED COLLECTION IMPORTANT INDIAN & ANCIENT COINS SULTANATES Sultans of Dehli. ‘Ala al-Din Mas‘ud, AH 639-644; 1242-1246 A.D. Tanka, Dehli, dated (6)38 on rev. AR 10.92 g. Ruler’s titles. Rev. Caliph al-Mustansir. G&G D120. Some weakness. Very rare with this date. Very fine Mas‘ud struck Tankas initially, up to the year 641, in the name of the caliph al-Mustansir and then in the name of al-Must‘asim. Most of the Dehli coins are found with the date off the flan or only partly visible. The present coin is dated prior to this ruler’s accession so it is probably a mule, the obverse being that of Mas‘ud, the reverse of Bahram. As such, it is an interesting reflection of this somewhat turbulent period in the early sultanate’s history
