First minted by the Shahi kings circa 650 C.E., Balban the Great, the Sultan of Delhi, was issuing similar designs as late as 1287 C.E. The names and denominations of this remarkable long-lived coin series were lost to history. As a group they were known as jitals. These earliest silver Shahi jitals were crudely hand struck of 2.9 to 3.3 grams of high grade silver, averaging 17 to 18.5 millimeters in diameter. We guarantee this coin to be an authentic silver Shahi silver which comes as shown in a descriptive folder with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The denominations included are: 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 Afghanis. They are listed in Krause’s Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as Pick 56, 57,58, 60, 61, 62 and 63. They come in a hard inert plastic currency holder.
