Beschrijving voorzijde Humped bull (Nandi) seated to left in the field, with a trident symbol serving as a mint mark positioned on the bull's body. A Nagari legend reading 'Sri Spalapati Deva' is inscribed above the bull. The design is rendered in the characteristic flat, schematic style of early medieval Indo-Afghan coinage. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of hand-hammered issues of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

The Shahis of Ohind — the town on the Indus now known as Hund, in modern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — controlled the principal crossing point into the subcontinent, making them both militarily and commercially indispensable to anyone moving between Central Asia and the Punjab. The jital as a denomination was the workhorse of this corridor for centuries, circulating through a region where Arab, Turkic, and Hindu commercial networks overlapped and competed.

Mitchiner's classification separates the Spalapati type from the broader Shahi series on the basis of die arrangement and billon fineness, which degraded noticeably across the dynasty's later issues as silver became harder to source.
