There, they were met by the Mughal emperor, Muhammad Shah, who accompanied them into the city. Nadir had the khutba read in his name and also ordered for coins to be struck in his name (dated AH 1151 and 1152). He did not depose Muhammad Shah but looted the city and made it known that he expected tribute from the Mughal provincial governors. Coins naming Nadir Shah are accordingly known from the mints of Ahmadabad, 'Azimabad (Patna), Murshidabad and Muhammadabad Banaras. All are extremely rare.

Deposits in devices. VF. Very rare. Ex Triton XXIV (19 January 2021), lot 1280.A Gujarati slave of Qutb al-Din Mubarak who converted to Islam, Khusru rose to become the most powerful man in the Sultanate. In a remarkable display of ambition and ingratitude, he used his power to have the Sultan assassinated, putting an end to the Khilji Dynasty in Dehli. During his four-month reign, Khusru gained a reputation as a reformer opposed to strict religious laws, but this swiftly turned the nobility against him. He was defeated in battle later in AH 720 and his vanquisher, Ghazi Malik, duly became Sultan in his place, assuming the title Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq and founding a new dynasty in Dehli.
