Chahada Deva — better known as Prithviraj III — ruled the Chahamana kingdom from Ajmer and Delhi until his catastrophic defeat at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, where Muhammad of Ghor's forces ended Rajput dominance over the northwestern plains for good. These jitals circulated through the final decades of independent Chahamana power, a kingdom that had spent much of the same period in exhausting conflict with the Chandellas and Paramaras before Ghurid pressure made those rivalries irrelevant.
The billon composition reflects ongoing debasement across Rajput issues of the period.
