[QUOTE="Spaniard, post: 8082948, member: 90248"]Here's one that didn't make it into my top 10 this year... Being a specialist collector of this series it should be but there is already one at number 3 and I'm trying to collate as varied a selection as possible, there can only be one top ten! Here she is.... Sussala 1113-1120 AD, Copper Kaserah or Punchshi 19mm (6.58gr). Obverse- Goddess Ardochsho/Lakshmi seated facing in half lotus position, with Nagari legend 'Sri' to left 'Sussa' to right Reverse- King standing facing and sacrificing at altar holding trident in right hand, with Nagari legend 'Deva' bottom right..... West #1112-1120 Second example (Variety). Ex William Spengler Collection. Purchased from Coin India - vcoins - August 2021. There are 2 types of Sussala coins with the obverse legend beginning with or without 'Sri'. On both, the reverse normally depicts the ruler holding the trident in his left hand yet this rare example shows the trident held in the right hand. As a specialist collector of this series this was a must have with the added bonus of it being from the Ex William Spengler Collection. [ATTACH=full]1403966[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
