| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized humped bull (zebu) depicted in the lower field, rendered in the debased Indo-Muslim artistic tradition. Above the bull, a horizontal line divides the field, with a row of dots forming a border along the upper edge. Nagari legend occupying the central and upper fields, reading 'Sri Mahamad Sam', flanked by a schematic dagger motif above. The overall design reflects the Ghurid adaptation of earlier Hindu Shahis bull-and-horseman coinage, with inscription elements replacing traditional iconographic details. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muizz al-din Muhammad bin Sam — better known in Western historiography as Muhammad of Ghor — used Ghazna as his operational base after wresting it from the Ghaznavid sultan Khusrau Malik in 1173, the same year this coinage begins. The Budaon mint is significant: it places production deep in the Gangetic plain, reflecting how aggressively Ghorid authority was being projected into northern India following the decisive defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192.
Leaded copper jitals of this type circulated as the workhorse small change of a rapidly expanding conquest economy, moving through markets that had never previously used Islamic coinage.
