<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1198610, member: 19463&quot;]A very common medieval coin of Central Asia is the silver jital of Samanta Deva showing a bull and horseman type.&nbsp; I have posted on these before and realize that few of you collect them.&nbsp; Today&#039;s coin is a bronze from that same series.&nbsp; As with the silvers, these rarely show the entire design so you have to find one that is off center in a way you can accept.&nbsp; The coin shows an elephant under a legend reading Samanta Deva backed by a lion.&nbsp; I have half a dozen of these each with it own set of faults but this one is reasonably well struck (translation: on flan) on the heads of both animals and the legend so I had to have it despite the missing rears and feet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
