Sultan Iltutmish introduced a metal coin named Jital which was made of:
copper
The correct answer is copper.
The exact relationship between the silver Tanka and the copper Jital also changed. Initially, a silver Tanka was equivalent to approximately 48 Jitals, but this ratio fluctuated. The Jital itself sometimes contained a mixture of copper and silver, known as billon, particularly in later periods or under different rulers. However, the primary composition of the Jital introduced by Iltutmish is widely accepted as copper.
