| Additional information |
Sri Yashaditya ruled Sindh in the decades immediately before the Arab conquest under Muhammad bin Qasim in 711–712 CE, making coins of his reign among the last issues of independent Sindhi royal authority. The Umayyad campaign that followed permanently ended the kingdom's coinage tradition. This damma type — the fractional silver denomination characteristic of late Sindhi issues — circulated in a region that was, within years of its minting, absorbed into the easternmost reach of the Umayyad Caliphate.
