Obverse description Stylized equestrian figure depicted facing right, rendered in a highly schematic, almost geometric manner characteristic of late Ghurid bull-and-horseman jitals. The rider sits astride a horse with limbs extended, the whole design showing strong continuity with earlier Shahiya coinage prototypes. A Nagari legend reading 'Sri Hamira' occupies the field surrounding the central device, distributed across the available space in the typical abbreviated fashion of this series.
