CMattB2 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 12:30 pm I have this small coin that has a little man on a horse, and arabic writing on the back. It is 13-14mm and 2.8 grams. I think it is something referred to as a Horse Jital from Muhammad of the Khwarezm Dynasty as they have the exact design features. I could not find one that looks like mine though. Any help would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

CMattB2 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 1:17 pm Under Further research, I believe it to be a Ghorid Jital under Mahmud. Tye 143. If anyone has a catalogue where they could confirm the Tye # and add the variety if possible, it would be greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

The writing differs slightly more than just different calligraphy on different dies, but I'm not sure what that means. The 25 illustration pages from Robert Tye's book Jitals are available as a free .pdf download (with registration) from https://www.academia.edu/356700/Jitals Report this Post to the Staff
