Qutb al-Din Mubarak Shah (1316–1320 AD), ascended the throne after the death of his father, Alauddin Khalji. His reign marked the final phase of Khalji authority before the rise of the Tughluqs. Although short and turbulent, Mubarak's rule saw attempts to restore administrative order following the harsh regency of Malik Kafur. One of the significant features of his coinage is the square gold tanka notable for their innovative square flan, clear calligraphy, and bold royal epithets.
