عدل ['adil] // راست [rāst], with a decoration (or "la la") below. 13mm, 2.93 g. Zeno #361713 (this coin); Tye -.

"Rast" is a Persian synonym to Arabic "'adil" عدل "just, true, genuine; full-weight". Extremely rare, with only a few known examples.

This type is closely related to an 'adli from Lahore in the name of Mu'izz (Ghorid ruler Mohamed bin Sam), who died in 1206. It might have been minted soon after the death of Mohamed bin Sam (1206) and before his succession was resolved, or, as some authorities suggest, during the early Mongol period, perhaps 1220s. This type is not published in Tye or other standard catalogues.

Sultan Shahāb-ud-Din Muhammad Ghori, originally called Mu'izzuddīn Muḥammad Bin Sām (and also referred to by Orientalists as Muhammad of Ghor and famously known as just Ghori) (1150 – March 15, 1206), was one of the rulers of the Ghurid dynasty from the famous house of Sur who were rulers of Ghor for five hundred years. He is credited with laying the foundation of Islamic occupation in India that lasted for several centuries. He reigned over a territory spanning present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India.
