Beschrijving keerzijde Reverse depicts a stylised equestrian or leonine figure in profile, rendered in the schematic, abstracted style typical of late Kabul Shahi copper coinage. The figure, likely a charging horse or mythological animal, fills the majority of the field with bold, raised lines. Flowing tail and mane elements extend toward the periphery of the flan. The field is otherwise plain, with no visible legend or subsidiary device, consistent with Tye type 9.1. Strike is off-centre, with the design partially obscured by the irregular flan edges.

Aanvullende informatie

The Kabul Shahis ruled a strategically critical buffer zone between the expanding Abbasid Caliphate to the west and the Gurjara-Pratihara empire to the east, and their coinage reflects that pressure — issues became increasingly debased and irregular as the dynasty was pushed progressively eastward through the ninth and tenth centuries. Vakka Deva is among the lesser-documented rulers of this sequence, and attributions within the Tye classification remain provisional for several types in this range.

The kingdom effectively ended with Mahmud of Ghazni's campaigns in the early eleventh century.
