<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2579503, member: 19463&quot;]Your coin is listed in a book I like quite a bit and suggest you seek out if you can find it.&nbsp; <b>Living Without Silver</b> by John Deyell, Oxford India Paperbacks 1999, New Dehli covers the monetary history of early medieval North India.&nbsp; Your coin is shown as #106 or 107.&nbsp; He mentions the number 7 on the jhula (blanket cloth on bull) which shows clearly on your coin but does not define a meaning.&nbsp; His chapter on Yaminid coins does say that they are not usually found in hoards of the slightly later billon coins probably because the Yaminids were know to debase their silver more than generally acceptable.&nbsp; Deyell is more of a book on monetary and economic history than a catalog for collectors but it has decent plates and extensive captions. It was not expensive as I recall but took months to arrive when I ordered it by mail.&nbsp; I do not know if such things are better or worse for where you are located.&nbsp;&nbsp; I need to reread it (it has been a few years since I read it and I have studied jitals more since then).&nbsp; The coin is #110 in Robert Tye&#039;s <b>Jitals </b>but harder to ID from his idealized drawings and nothing is said about the type beyond the listing.&nbsp; I usually look in Tye first but this is a case where Deyell was more useful. </p><p>The following is offered for its humor value.&nbsp; The prices quoted in dollars would be about right for Rupees.&nbsp; The book for all its merits is not worth $600-1800.</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Living-Without-Silver-Monetary-Medieval/dp/0195622162" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Living-Without-Silver-Monetary-Medieval/dp/0195622162" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Living-Without-Silver-Monetary-Medieval/dp/0195622162</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
