Challenging India coin

6 berichten • 70 keer bekeken

I have tried to identify this coin using Numista but can't find similar one. Previous owner had identified it as Rajputana & Punjab drachm, Samanta Deva series, Mitch# 479, apprx. 1100-1300. Mitchiner# 479 is totally similar, but based on Mitchiner that coin is anonymous Bull and Horseman coin, probably Ghaznavids coin. Weight is 3.2 g, diameter 15.6 mm, thickness 2.2 mm.

Samanta Deva seems plausible:

Robert Tyes book “Jitals”  has the first 25 pages showing all the different types that can be viewed for free on academia.com

I think that your second picture is upside down.

Comparing it to the one on Zeno's, it's quite close:

Thank you. So it is “anonymous, post-Shahi Samanta Deva, BI or AE Jital, Tye#31”, but should that be added to Numista too and where exactly in that case? Yes, second picture is upside down.

There are a couple of similar ones in Numista already, in  India › Indian Northern Dynasties › Chauhan Dynasty: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=samanta&st=1-2-79-80&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&se=&c=&wi=&sw=
