背面描述	Reverse displays a stylized equestrian figure, likely a schematic horseman or rider motif derived from earlier regional coinage traditions, rendered in bold but somewhat crude relief across the central field. The Arabic legend, reading al-Sultan al-A'zam Mawdud (the Supreme Sultan Mawdud), is distributed around and within the field in characteristic Ghaznavid chancellery script. The design reflects the bilingual and bicultural nature of Ghaznavid coinage at Lahore, combining Islamic titulature with iconographic elements acceptable to the local population. Strike quality is typical of base-metal hammered issues, with uneven distribution of detail across the irregular flan.

附加信息	Mawdud inherited a fractured empire after orchestrating the removal of his brother Muhammad in 1041, and his decade of rule was consumed by the accelerating Seljuk pressure that would ultimately end Ghaznavid power in the west. The Lahore mint became increasingly central to Ghaznavid coinage as Khorasan slipped away — struck copper jitals like this one circulated through a shrinking but still commercially active Punjab. The leaded copper alloy is characteristic of the series; lead was deliberately introduced to improve flow in small-module dies.
