I got this beautiful silver Tanka coin, weighing 10.78 grams, diameter is 28 mm, I'm guessing Ala al-din Masud Shah as ruler, Hazrat Delhi Mint! Is this really the same ruler or Nasir al-din Mahmud Shah? I'm puzzled though! I'm also thanking you all for passing by 🙏🏻🙏🏻.

This coin appears to match a silver tanka of the Sultans of Dehli, Nasir al-Din Mahmud Shah (AH 644-664 = AD 1246-1266), Hadrat Dehli mint, Goron/Goenka D138.

Ala al-Din Masud Shah was the previous ruler (AH 639-644 = AD 1242-1246)

Thank you so much for letting me know! Btw, how to identify any Tanka coin of Masud Shah, the difference between the coins of Masud Shah and Mahmud Shah (except Arabic scripts)!
