  1. Who introduced leather token currency in India ?
    1. Akbar
    2. Mohammad–Bin–Tughlaq
    3. Babur
    4. Humayun
Correct Option: E

There is no evidence of any ruler of Indian history issuing leather token currency. Mohammad bin Tughlaq of the Delhi Sultanate introduced token coins of brass and copper which had the same value as silver coins during 1329-1330. This
experiment turned out to be a major failure as the token coins began to be forged, leading to irreparable loss to the exchequer.
