| Reverse description | A horseman is depicted facing right in a bold, schematic style typical of early medieval Indo-Muslim billon jitals, with the rider seated upon a horse rendered in a highly stylized manner. An inscription in Devanagari script appears above the equestrian figure reading 'Sri Hamirah', a Indianized rendering of the title 'Amir', referencing the ruler's authority. The overall execution is characteristic of the debased hammered coinage produced in Sindh during the early thirteenth century. |
