| Additional information |
The Pratihara Empire occupied the political center of northern India for much of the ninth century, controlling the Gangetic plain and repeatedly contesting Kanauj against the Palas and Rashtrakutas in a three-way struggle that defined the subcontinent's balance of power. This particular type, attributed to Vigrahapala and catalogued under the proto-Sri Vigra dramma classification by Maheshwari, sits in a transitional phase of Pratihara coinage where earlier Indo-Sassanian conventions were being reshaped into distinctly regional idioms. The date range reflects dynastic attribution rather than a known regnal mint record.
