Picked this up as part of a set. 3.36 grams. Like the design. The writing with the bull almost looks like a fence.

Been seeing a lot of these lately, they must have found a hoard somewhere. Very nice coin.

Great coin. Can't go wrong with these. You will never be able to find a complete example with complete legends front and back. These guys were totally into making their flans too small for their dies. You did quite well on yours. You have the who obverse legend! (the fence). I believe your coin can be attributed the same as mine. Notice the whats visible on yours and what is visible on mine.

Shahi Kings of Kabul and Gandhara
Sri Samanta Deva AD 800-1000,
Ohind,(Hund) Pakistan
AR Jital 19 mm x 3.20 grams
Obverse:Bull Nandi recumbent left. Tamgha on hind quarter. Negari Script- SRI SAMANTA DEVA
Reverse: Horseman riding right holding banner, [BHI ASHARA] above left [Unknown symbol above right]
Ref: Tye 14, Deyell 45


I still cant get over the fact that it looks like someone visiting a farm.

I took this picture when I was at the local fair this summer. It features said bull type (Zebu) and said fence.
