| Additional information |
The Tomara rulers of Delhi are among the least-documented dynasties of early medieval India, occupying the Haryana-Delhi region before being supplanted by the Chahamanas of Shakambhari in the mid-twelfth century. Anangapala — almost certainly Anangapala II — is the ruler most firmly associated with Delhi itself; a much-cited iron pillar inscription at the Quwwat ul-Islam mosque site records his name, though its dating remains disputed among scholars.
Tye 44 is a billon jital of the bull-and-horseman type, a coinage tradition the Tomaras inherited from earlier Pratihara-sphere issues and passed forward to their Chahamana successors, who struck near-identical types in enormous quantities.
