mikev50 Pillar of the Community United States 1861 Posts	Posted 01/21/2026 11:50 pm imo---This is a Samanta Deva Jital (or Spalapati Deva Jital) coin, a medieval Indian coin from the Hindu Shahi dynasty (c. 850-1000 AD). Obverse (left): Features a recumbent bull to the left, often interpreted as Nandi, the bull of the Hindu god Shiva. Reverse (right): Depicts a horseman riding right, holding a spear. Material: The coin is made of silver. Origin: The coins were minted in the Kabul Valley (modern Afghanistan) and the Gandhara region (modern northern Pakistan). Inscription: The inscription in Sharada script around the bull side reads "Sri Samanta Deva". Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not even sure if that's possible for this type of coins. There is also a thread related to the coin in much better condition. https://goccf.com/t/486399 Report this Post to the Staff
