| Beschrijving voorzijde | A mounted horseman depicted in profile facing left, seated upon a striding horse with legs in full motion. The rider brandishes a long spear or lance held diagonally across the field, conveying martial authority. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded or toothed inner circle, a hallmark of the Ghaznavid-derived jital tradition. Arabic legend occupies the surrounding field and margin. The style is characteristic of the schematic, die-engraved figural types common to Indo-Muslim billon jitals of the early 13th century. |

The Khwarazmian Empire's absorption of Ghurid territories after Muhammad of Ghor's death in 1206 created an awkward transitional coinage problem: local populations in former Ghurid regions were accustomed to specific types, and abrupt monetary breaks risked disrupting bazaar commerce. This jital type — retaining the Ghurid horseman device under Khwarazmian authority — was almost certainly a deliberate continuity measure by 'Ala al-Din Muhammad II, who was simultaneously fighting the Qara Khitai to the east and consolidating western conquests. The billon fabric itself reflects chronic silver shortages across the region throughout this period.
