This was identified as a Jital from 'Ala-ud-din of the Khwarezmian Empire, but checking Tye's book on Jitals, I don't see a perfect match although a few are close. Here are the pictures To me both sides of mine look very close to the reverse of Tye 287, but no coin in Tye has that feature. And I can's really see how mine has a side close to that obverse. What are your opinions? Benny Report this Post to the Staff

A mule of two reverses, in other words. Edited by Kushanshah 11/08/2021 1:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/08/2021 1:54 pm I don't know. I'm not entirely confident that both sides are the same. That's what comes to mind at a glance. It does look exactly like Tye's illustration but I don't agree with his reading of the obverse. Tye cites an unpublished specimen in Tubingen.
