| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered copper flan bearing the Nagari legend Sri Samanta Deva arranged across the field in bold, deeply struck characters. The inscription dominates the obverse in a compact, somewhat stylized rendering typical of the Shahi coinage of the Ohind mint. The lettering is set within an irregular, roughly circular flan with no border or decorative framing elements. The overall execution reflects the characteristic informal die-cutting tradition of the late Kabul Shahi period. The field surface shows natural metal flow and die-spread consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Samanta Deva Shahis ruled Ohind — ancient Udabhandapura on the Indus, near modern Attock in Pakistan — as subordinate kings under, and eventually in contest with, the main Kabul Shahi line. Their copper fractional issues were struck for a regional economy where small-denomination coinage moved goods across the Indus crossings that made Ohind strategically vital for centuries. The Mitchiner reference places this type within a densely contested attribution zone; distinguishing Samanta Deva issues from related Shahi fractions often comes down to subtle symbol placement and flan preparation that the catalog number alone cannot resolve.
