| Obverse description | Within a border of raised pellets, a lion passant left with right forepaw raised, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Rajput coinage. A crescent symbol appears above the lion in the upper field. A small circular device is visible to the left of the animal in the field. The design occupies a slightly irregular flan typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Additional information |
Jaitrasimha ruled the Chahamana branch seated at Ranastambhapura — the fortress city now known as Ranthambore — as a vassal under Delhi Sultanate suzerainty following the catastrophic defeat of the wider Chahamana confederation at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192. This coinage reflects that subordinate political reality: the Chahamanas of Ranastambhapura continued issuing silver drachms in a debased local tradition long after their parent dynasty's collapse, a numismatic survival that outlasted their political relevance by decades.
