Falus - Anonymous Gwalior

The Tomara rulers of Gwalior occupied an awkward political position through much of the fifteenth century — nominally subordinate to the Sultanate of Delhi yet functionally autonomous, issuing their own coinage as a quiet assertion of that independence. Anonymous billon issues like this falus complicate attribution; without a ruler's name, dating relies largely on hoard context and typological sequence rather than inscription.

By 1473, Gwalior was under Man Singh Tomar, whose reign would prove the dynasty's cultural peak before the Lodis finally took the fort in 1516.
