Jital - Bahram Shah Lahore mint

Bahram Shah's long reign was defined less by conquest than by survival — he held Ghazna as a Seljuk vassal after being installed by Sultan Sanjar in 1117, having ousted his own brother with Seljuk military backing. The Lahore mint takes on particular significance here: as Ghaznavid power contracted steadily westward under Seljuk pressure, Lahore became the dynasty's economic heartland, and jitals from this mint represent the administrative machinery of a kingdom reduced largely to its Punjab rump.
