  Muhammad bin Tughluq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhammad was committed to maintaining the Sultanate's expansion into the newly-conquered provinces of peninsular India.
To have better administration of these southern parts of the Empire, Muhammad moved the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in the Deccan in the early part of his reign, renaming that city Devagiri as Daulatabad.
Muhammad also had the idea of introducing token currency for the first time in India, modelled after the Chinese example, using brass or copper coins, backed by silver and gold kept in the treasury.

Muhammad bin Tughluq (1290-1351) was a medieval Indian ruler whose reign saw the beginning of the disintegration of the empire of Delhi.
Muhammad's regime of 26 years seems to have largely been occupied with fighting rebellions (some 22 are listed), planning ambitious projects of conquest of farflung areas, and making administrative innovations that brought disgrace to the ruler and suffering for his subjects.
In 1328-1329 Muhammad ordered an enhancement of agricultural taxes in the Doab (area watered by the Ganges and the Jamuna rivers), and the impost was collected with such severity that it bred rebellions and led to devastation of large tracts.
