Option 3 : Firuz Shah Tughlaq
Under Firuz Shah Tughlaq's reign, the billon currency seems to have nearly entirely replaced silver coinage.
-
Firuz Shah Tughlaq was a Sultan of Delhi from 1351 to 1388 AD.
-
He sat on the throne after the death Muhammad bin Tughluq.
-
The long reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq seems to have established his coinage as a popular medium of exchange.
-
Firuz Shah Tughlaq issued coins in gold, silver, copper, and billon.
-
Gold, copper, and billon coins issued by him are common, but his silver coins are rare.
-
During his reign, there was a shortage of silver coins in circulation and hence the billon currency seems to have nearly entirely replaced silver coins.
Thus, the correct answer is - Firuz Shah Tughlaq.
