Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 10:38 pm Yes, the second coin on the Numista page appears to be the same variety as yours. It should be listed separately as Tye 32, however. Note that it is different in important ways from the coin at the top of the page. Like most listings for ancient and medieval coins on Numista, the information is hopelessly confused. For Islamic and oriental coins, https://www.zeno.ru/ is considered the database of record. I would catalogue your coin as: Northern India, anonymous late- or post-Shahi, c. AD 900-1100+, AE jital, 'Samanta Deva' bull and horseman type, Tye 32; Deyell 48. The key to the attribution of your coin as Tye 32/ Deyell 48 is the symbol to the right of the horseman's head. Edited by Kushanshah 05/18/2019 10:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
