Gadahaiya Paisa Paramaras of Malwa or Silaharas of Kokan

The Gadhaiya (or Gadahaiya) coinage is a long-lived debased series descended ultimately from Sasanian drachms, filtered through centuries of imitation and re-imitation across western and central India. By the 13th century the prototype had degraded so thoroughly through successive copying that the original Sasanian imagery was nearly unrecognizable. The attribution to Paramaras of Malwa or Silaharas of Kokan reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty — the type circulated across overlapping territories and was struck by multiple regional authorities, making firm attribution to a single issuer difficult without die-study or find-spot evidence.
