It looks tiny but with Indian coins the script lines aren't always a good guide of size. EDIT: I think it might be a jital with a bull on one side and a legend on the other. I don't know a lot about those but it should probably help in searching. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 04/02/2024 12:31 am Yes, a jital of the Khwarizmshah 'Ala al-Din Muhammad bin Tekish, 1200-1220. Tye 294. Obverse, in Arabic: al-sultan al-a'zam abu'l-fateh Muhammad bin al-sultan ("the very great sultan, father of victory, Muhammad, son of the sultan"). Reverse, above bull in Sarada (Sanskrit) script: sri samanta, a title meaning something like "honorable commander"; on the body of the bull in Arabic, the mint name Ghazna (in Afghanistan).

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11882 Posts	Posted 04/04/2024 9:01 pm Always in awe of what @K brings to the forum IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
