Chahatadeva -AD.1234-1255.Different writers give different periods regarding Chahatadeva. A.Cunningham says his period was 1234-1255. In the account of A.S.Smith he is said to have ruled Narwar from 1232 to 1260. Nothing much is known now in literature about him. A.S Smith says that he was defeated by Delhi ruler Balban (1266-1287) in AD.1251, when Nasir ud din Mahmud was the ruler and Balban his PrimeMinister. Chahatadeva coins of two varieties, both with horseman obverse are given below.  Ruler's name - Chahatadeva above horseman to right

On this coin the reverse legend is "Samanthadeva" with "Sri" preceding. The metal looks more like copper. Though billon coins are found more, coppers also are said to have been issued.

Thank you Bob L. So happy to know that my threads are useful. Information is worthless unless it is shared. It must reach as many as possible to enlighten our mind. I too got information from knowledgeable people who shared it with us. I am only passing that on. Credit goes to them who struck these coins and to those wise men who documented their details for future generations. Thank you once more on their behalf. Happy coin collecting!!

Muizuddaula Khusru-1152-60Muiz ud daula Khusru, son of Bahram, reigned in Lahore for eight years from 1152 to 1160. His period was generally peaceful. D.Rajgor attributed the coin below to the Delhi ruler Muhammad bin Sam as "Muizzi" type. G&G attributes this to Muizuddin Khusru of Ghazni. Muhammad bin Sam legend reads "Muiz" rather than "Muizzi". 
Name of ruler-"Muizzi" within circle and rays.
