| Obverse description | Stylized equestrian figure of a horseman depicted in schematic Nagari script style, facing right within the field. The legend in Nagari script reads 'Sri Hamira' (an Indianized rendering of 'Amir'), flanking the rider. The design reflects the bilingual and bicultural character of Ghurid coinage, blending Islamic and Hindu artistic traditions. The overall composition is characteristic of the bull-and-horseman jital series adapted under Muizz al-Din Muhammad bin Sam. |
