Malwa Sultanate, Silver 1/8 Tanka, coin struck in the name of Ibrahim Shah Lodi (Delhi Sultan), Obv:&nbsp;Ibrahim Shah Lodi bin Sikandar Shah, Rev:&nbsp;al-kibriya lillah, 1.4g, 9.0 x 10.5mm, (Unlisted in G&amp;G), choice extremely fine, Exceedingly Rare.

Note: The fortress of Chanderi had come under the control of Sikandar Lodi in AH 921 during the course of the civil war in Malwa between Mahmud II and his brother Muhammad II. On that occasion, Muhammad had given been proclaimed king, and coins are known struck in his name in that year. It appears that Muhammad died soon after and his heir, Ahmad, remained in charge of the place on behalf of the Lodi King. It is reported that after Sikandar Lodi died in AH 923, Ahmad did not acknowledge the sovereignty of Delhi in an adequate manner. The new ruler at Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, therefore, sent Shaikzada Manhju to recover Chanderi. This he did and Miyan Husain Farmuli was appointed governor there. Malwa-style coins with the Chanderi mint-mark were struck in the name of the Delhi ruler Ibrahim Lodi in both silver and copper, falus weighing 7.5-8g. All these coins are very rare.

This is the first coin of this denomination coming to the light and being offered in any auction.
