Muhammad Adil Shah Suri rose to power after the death of Islam Shah Suri, eliminating his minor son Firuz Shah and ruling as a usurper.

Coins struck at Jaunpur are rare because they were issued briefly during intense civil war, limited territorial control, disrupted administration, and the rapid collapse of Suri authority before Mughal reconquest
