I'll guess the same coin as Trig, but not from the Ghazna mint.

Yes, those hints made getting there easier cause of a mixup of terminology based on my searching. Thought it would be fair with a couple of hints along the way

Trig wins:
On my bucket list, a coin from the Khanate of Genghis Khan (1206-1227), these coins are definitely scarce and not that easy to track down to buy.
I paid $175.00 for this coin from one of my dealers on whatnot, so yes, pricy to me.

I saw various definitions of a jital online when I was looking it up... one source had it as 1/48 a unit of currency therefore why I said my answer originally. Another source had 1/12, and still others had other valuations of that denomination. It was only when I started playing around with numista that I discovered it was actually a 1.0 unit of currency in the Jital-Tanka system. So apparently the Mongols valued the Jital as one unit of currency according to Numista.

I was also confused why my coin didn't come up when silver/precious was selected in the composition, but came up under billon?

So....keith was right. You had to forfeit that round in fairness. Nice add to your collection.
