Answer 1

The correct answer is Muhammad bin Tughlaq.

Key Points

Muhammad bin Tughlaq was known for his intellectual depth and bold decisions, some of which were far ahead of his time.
He attempted to introduce token currency (made of brass and copper) which ultimately failed due to the lack of proper implementation and the absence of strict regulatory measures to control forgery.
His decision to move the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad (in the Deccan) to control the whole of his empire more effectively was another bold move that ended in hardship for the people and was eventually reversed.
Tughlaq's taxation policy in the Doab region to increase revenue resulted in rebellion due to the severity and timing during a period of famine.
