under the
rule of Tughluqs
,
Delhi Sultans.
It was minted in AH 726 (
1325
AD) in
Madurai Region
, southern India.
Pandyas
were ousted from Madurai by
Chola Dynasty
during the
early 9th century
.   The city was fought over between Cholas and
Pandyas during the
12th century
, changing hands several times, until the
early 13th century
, when the
second Pandyan Empire
was
established with
Madurai

territories until
