| Aversbeschreibung | Highly stylized and schematized royal effigy facing right, rendered in the debased Indo-Sassanian tradition characteristic of Pala coinage. The head is depicted in a bold, abstracted manner with curvilinear forms suggesting facial features and headdress, the design composed of deeply struck geometric and flowing lines that have evolved significantly from earlier Sassanian prototypes. The field surrounding the effigy is plain, with the irregular flan edges typical of hammered silver issues of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Pala dynasty ruled Bengal and Bihar for roughly four centuries, and their silver coinage reflects a monetary system that scholars still debate in its specifics — attribution of individual rulers within the dynasty remains contested, with Vigrahapala I occupying an early and poorly documented reign somewhere in the mid-ninth century. The dynastic sequence itself was only systematically worked out in the twentieth century through copperplate inscriptions, not coin evidence.
Pala silver is notoriously difficult to assign with precision; many pieces circulated across multiple reigns without re-minting.
