Have I got a thread for you: http://goccf.com/t/278563Looks like Kalasa, 1076-1089, but Palouche or others will know for sure. |

Yep Kalasa, good call Bob, his coins alongside Didda Rani and Harsha are the most common coins found...Saying that, yours is a nice example as the SA is complete in the legend... Copper Kaserah, Kashmir Kalasa 1076-1089 Obeverse..Lakshmi (Ardoxsho) the goddess seated with rulers legends left and right. Reverse...The king standing sacrificing at an alter.  |

Hi Jay1234 Its a Didda Rani... Didda Rani 958-1003- Born in 924? to king Simharaja of Lohara.A beautiful woman who even when she was young and could walk was carried everywhere by a female called Valga.The exact reason for this is unclear but records show she was known as Charanhina(footless). She became one of the most ruthless rulers of Kashmir. Being clever and manipulative she ruled for more than 40 years,firstly as regent for her son,whom some say she killed,and then as sole ruler until her death at the age of 79 in 1003. I've added an example from my collection for you to compare...Paul  |
