SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Muhammad bin Tughlaq

The question asks which Sultan of the Tughlaq dynasty issued copper coins instead of silver ones. The Tughlaq dynasty, a part of Indian history, is known for several administrative and economic reforms, particularly during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Muhammad bin Tughlaq, who reigned from 1325 to 1351, is noted for his ambitious and somewhat controversial policies. One of these policies was the introduction of token currency, wherein he replaced silver coins with copper ones, aiming to resolve the scarcity of silver. This decision ultimately failed due to lack of control and widespread counterfeiting. Therefore, the Sultan who issued copper coins instead of silver was Muhammad bin Tughlaq.
