What was the famous silver coin introduced by Sher Shah Suri called?

Rupiya

Sher Shah Suri is especially associated with the standardisation and wider circulation of the silver rupiya, which became an important basis for later Indian currency systems. The coin had a fixed standard of weight and fineness, helping taxation, trade and payments become more regular across his administrative area. Hence option A is correct. The dam was generally a copper coin used for smaller transactions, although it was also part of the currency system. The mohur was a gold coin, so it does not fit the description of a silver coin. The jital was an earlier small denomination associated with medieval monetary traditions, not the famous silver currency reform linked with Sher Shah. The key examination association is Sher Shah, silver rupiya and monetary standardisation.
