| Additional information |
The Chauhan (Chahamana) rulers of Shakambhari issued these jitals across a period that spans some of the most turbulent centuries on the Indian subcontinent, overlapping with repeated Ghaznavid and later Ghurid incursions into the northwest. The anonymous attribution is deliberate — without a named ruler, these pieces circulated under dynastic rather than personal authority, a practice that gave the coinage continuity across succession disputes.
Billon composition varied considerably within this type, and Tye 32 specimens range from heavily debased to marginally silvered depending on mint output and period of striking. That inconsistency is itself historically informative.
