It can be seen that some coins were minted in the name of Islam Shah of the Suri dynasty. Islam Shah was the son of Sher Shah, the founder of the Suri dynasty. Photo: @Archaeological Survey of India. There are inscriptions on some of the coins that indicate they may belong to the Lodi dynasty. So it is certain that these coins belong to both the Lodi and Suri dynasties.
