Jital - Unattributed 'Post Shahis' 'KU'

The "Post Shahi" jitals represent the coinage produced across the former Shahi territories of the Hindu Kush and upper Indus following the Ghaznavid campaigns that dismantled the Hindu Shahi kingdom in the early eleventh century. The abbreviation "KU" on this piece remains incompletely resolved — likely a mint or issuer abbreviation, but not yet assigned with confidence to a specific Chauhan branch or locality. Leaded copper issues of this type circulated in enormous quantities, suggesting routine commercial use across a fragmented political geography where no single successor authority dominated.

Tye 30 encompasses a broad family of related types, and attribution within it is genuinely difficult.
