| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in three registers across the field, reading 'al-Sultan al-a'zam siraj al-daula' (The Greatest Sultan, Lamp of the State), a honorific titulature of the Ghaznavid ruler Khusrau Malik. The bold Kufic script is characteristic of late Ghaznavid coinage, with angular letterforms typical of the hammered billon jitals produced in the eastern provinces. The flan is irregular with a slightly uneven edge consistent with hand-struck issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Khusrau Malik was the last Ghaznavid sultan, ruling from Lahore after the dynasty had been pushed out of its Afghan heartland by the Ghurids. These jitals were struck under severe political compression — by the 1160s the Ghaznavids held little more than the Punjab, and Khusrau Malik spent much of his reign as a client ruler navigating between Ghurid pressure and local resistance. He was eventually captured by Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad around 1186 and executed, ending a dynasty that had once stretched from Khorasan to the Ganges.
Tye 120.3 places this among the billon jitals of the late Lahore mint, struck when silver content had dropped considerably from earlier Ghaznavid issues.
