Context
The Sultanate of Madurai was a short-lived independent muslim sultanate based in the city of Madurai, today part of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Ghiyath Al-Din Muhammad Damghan Shah ruled from AH740/741 to AH 745 (1340-1344CE). He struck coins in gold, silver and copper. On tankas Ghiyath Al-Din referred to himself as “the second Alexander, right hand of the Caliphate, helper of the leader of the faithful”, showing that he had an extremely high opinion of himself. There are two types of billon coins issued by Ghiyath Al-Din, both debased in appearance and listed as Jitals by Gordon & Goenka, but may have had different values.
