| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylized standing figure in frontal posture, rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of medieval Indian coinage. The figure appears robed and is flanked by decorative foliate or scrollwork elements on either side. The design is executed in low relief with bold, simplified forms typical of Chauhan dynastic gold coinage. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border. The artistic treatment reflects the late Shahi tradition adapted by the Chauhan rulers of Ajmer. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vigraharaja IV ruled the Chahamana dynasty at its cultural apex, and is as well known for his literary output — he authored the Sanskrit drama Lalitavigraharaja — as for his military campaigns pushing Chauhan authority deep into the Gangetic plain. His reign saw the capture of Delhi from the Tomaras, a conquest that set the political stage for the later Ghurid invasions that would end the dynasty entirely within a generation of his death.
Deyell's classification places this type within a transitional phase of northwestern Indian gold coinage, where bull-and-horseman types inherited from earlier Pratihara-influenced issues were still in active use.
