Note:&nbsp;After the Mongol conflict at Kara in AD 1292, political authority within the Delhi Sultanate began to shift from Sultan Firuz Khilji to his ambitious nephew, Ala Ud Din Khilji. Ala Ud Din sought Firuz’s permission to raid Chanderi but instead struck deep into the Deccan, plundering Devagiri, the wealthy capital of the Yadavas. Laden with immense spoils, he returned north in AD 1296, apologizing for the unauthorized venture and promising Firuz a large share of the booty. To secure his pardon, Ala Ud Din lured the Sultan to Kara—where he murdered him and proclaimed himself Sultan Ala ud Din Muhammad.<o:p></o:p>In the aftermath, Firuz’s widow proclaimed her younger son&nbsp;Qadr Khan&nbsp;as Sultan&nbsp;Rukn al-Din Ibrahim, even though the elder son, Arkali Khan, was based at Multan. Ibrahim’s position, however, received little support, and Ala Ud Din consolidated power in Delhi by securing the loyalty of nobles with the wealth from his campaigns. Ibrahim and his mother retreated to Multan but were soon captured along with Arkali.<o:p></o:p>Ibrahim’s reign lasted less than a year, yet his coinage is of considerable importance. His coins not only reflect the turbulence of the Khilji succession but also bear the name of his father,&nbsp;Firuz, linking them directly to the contested legacy of the dynasty.<o:p></o:p>This specimen is&nbsp;well struck, with much of the mint name visible at the reverse margin near 7 o’clock and the&nbsp;complete date fully legible. Issued during a period of political instability, when loyalty within the Sultanate was fracturing.<o:p></o:p>Ibrahim’s reign lasted less than a year, yet his coinage is of considerable importance.
