EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures an intriguing moment in history as Muhammad bin Tughluq, the Sultan of Delhi in the 14th century, is depicted issuing token currency. This unique form of currency consisted of coins made from brass and copper that held equal value to gold and silver coins. The print, created by English School in the 20th century, provides a glimpse into this fascinating period. Muhammad bin Tughluq was known for his ambitious and innovative ideas during his reign. His decision to introduce token currency was aimed at stabilizing the economy and controlling inflation. However, this bold move ultimately led to economic chaos and widespread confusion among traders and merchants. The black-and-white composition adds a sense of historical authenticity to the image while highlighting the intricate details on the coins minted during that time. The print's clarity allows viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating these tokens as well as their significance within India's monetary system. This artwork serves as a reminder of how rulers throughout history have attempted various methods to manage their economies with varying degrees of success. It also sheds light on Muhammad bin Tughluq's legacy as a ruler who dared to experiment with unconventional approaches despite facing significant challenges along the way.
