| Obverse description | Bull and horseman type jital struck at the Nandana mint under Sharaf Beg. The obverse depicts a stylized bull standing in the central field, rendered in the crude, heavily worn hammered style characteristic of late Ghaznavid and early Sultanate-period coinage of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The design reflects artistic conventions shared with contemporaneous Ghurid and Khwarazmian coinage traditions of the region. Peripheral legends in Arabic script appear around the central device, though heavily degraded on this example. |
