[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 4284944, member: 57364"][USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER] : Nice to see some Indian Bulls represented. Your Mahipala is most likely from the later part of the 12th century. The reasoning by Roy to put this in the early 11th century is generally thought to be flawed. Regarding your Chahada Deva, the attribution to the Yajvapala dynasty is the old classification used by Cunningham. But that's a different Chahada Deva (of Narwar) than the Chahada Deva of Dyell/Tye. The latter one is Chahada Deva of the Chauhan of Delhi. Hence the different datings. To complicate things further, the coin you show is not a Chahada Deva specimen, but in the name of Prithvi Raj Chauhan of Delhi (Tye#52). Adding one of my favourite abstract bulls from the same period under Muhammad bin Sam which i have shown before: [ATTACH=full]1090442[/ATTACH] And a rare but cute bull issued under the Ghaznavid dynasty: [ATTACH=full]1090444[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
