Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Iltutmish
Iltutmish issued the silver tanka and the copper jital, which formed the basis of the sultanate coinage and was the first Delhi ruler to do so on a large scale. Muhammad bin Tughluq is known for token currency, Alauddin Khalji for market control and Balban for the theory of kingship and the Persian court ritual.
