| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized fire altar occupies the central field, depicted with a pronounced stepped or tiered base and rising flame motifs rendered as a series of pellets and striated vertical elements, consistent with the Indo-Sasanian fire altar type. Two attendant figures, schematically rendered and facing inward, flank the altar on either side, their forms reduced to highly stylized outlines in keeping with the degenerate artistic style of the period. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded or dotted border. The design is directly derived from Sasanian prototypes and is a hallmark of the Chahamana jital series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Chahamanas — better known as the Chauhans — controlled strategic trade corridors through Rajasthan and into the Gangetic plain during this period, and their coinage reflects a monetary system under sustained pressure from both military expenditure and the gradual debasement common across early medieval Indian polities. The dramatic range in silver content across specimens isn't random degradation; it tracks deliberate policy shifts as dynastic authority fluctuated across sub-branches of the lineage.
The "Sri Ha" designation places this issue within a specific derivative tradition tracing back to earlier Brahmi-script prototypes, with the type evolving through successive copying until individual elements became increasingly abstracted.
