Tughluq the armies in Sind proclaimed Firuz the new Sultan. However in Dehli another pretender was raised to the throne, Mahmud. In the short space of time until Firuz returned to Dehli, coins were struck in the name of the pretender, Mahmud b. Muhammad Tughluq. This coin represents a necessity for any comprehensive Sultanate collection.
