A nice billon coin from the famous Muslim conqueror of Delhi.

Muʿizz al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Sām (often called Muhammad of Ghor; r. 1193–1206 CE) was the most prominent ruler of the Ghorid dynasty and the key figure in laying the foundations of Muslim rule in northern India. After consolidating his power, he turned eastward, defeating the Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, which opened the way for Ghorid expansion across the Indo-Gangetic plain. From his base at Ghazna, he oversaw campaigns that brought Delhi, Ajmer, and Bengal under Ghorid authority, largely carried out by his generals such as Qutb al-Din Aibak and Bakhtiyar Khalji. Though he ruled as a military overlord rather than a resident monarch in India, his conquests created the framework for the Delhi Sultanate. Muhammad of Ghor was assassinated in 1206, and with no heirs, his empire fragmented, but his legacy endured through the sultanates established by his former slave commanders.
