    Me too! Seems lots of cultures in India struck obverse with some kind of design/ left the reverse blank. Opposite to the nicely designed Ecu d'or au Soliel I posted in world section. Both obv./rev. are interesting. Nice for period.

    Nice specimen as this also shows part of the name of the ruler in Nagari, allowing for definite attribution. Part is off flan, but at the bottom seems to be the title in two lines; "[Sri Bhilla-] / Ma Deva".
