224. Coins or THE PatHan Kivnes or Deut. 
The Lodi Sultans. 
1. Bahlol Lodi, 855-894 H. 
Although Bahlol obtained possession of Dehli in 854 H. 
after the departure of ’Alau-d-din ’Alam, he did not strike coin 
in his own name but apparently utilised the dies of Mubarak 
Shah, if any inference can be drawn from the existence of copper 
coins bearing the name of that ruler and the dates 854 and 
55. The earliest known piece of Bahlol, struck in his own 
name, is dated 855. . 
The coins of the Lodis are relatively uninteresting. It 
may be too much to say that they issued no coin in gold or 
silver, but at any rate pieces in these metals have yet to be 
discovered.

The gap of six years in the issue of these coins is remark- 
able.” It is most improbable that no coins were struck during 
this period, but it is odd that none should have been recorded. 
Possibly the coins of intervening years are known to private 
collectors.
