| Additional information |
The Sindh kingdom's gold coinage of this period reflects the turbulent decades preceding the Arab conquest of 711–712, when Muhammad ibn Qasim's Umayyad forces dismantled the rule of Raja Dahir. The debased gold content found on many of these staters likely tracks the fiscal strain of that defensive period, as the kingdom drew down its bullion reserves.
Grahashura remains only partially documented in the dynastic sequence of Sindhi rulers, and the attribution of specific stater types to individual reigns rests on stylistic and metrical analysis rather than any contemporary written record.
