Question
With reference to the reign of Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq, explain the following:
Introduction of token currency
Solution
Muhammad Bin Tughlaq introduced the “token currency”. It meant the introduction of bronze tanka in place of silver tankas. This was done because of the shortage of silver. But this experiment failed due to the circulation of counterfeit or fake coins on a very large scale.
