[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2355572, member: 42773"]This coin came with a slip that attributes it to Kashmir, Jagadeva, 12th-century. The obverse is supposedly a king seated, facing.

Also, this coin is attributed to Kashmir, but the gold pagodas of Jagadeva are assigned to Vidarbha, which is central India. Are we talking about different mints or a disagreement concerning where any of the coins of Jagadeva were minted? I'm obviously a fish out of water here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 5.42g [ATTACH=full]480068[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
