[QUOTE="Spaniard, post: 3855605, member: 90248"]Couple of great stories in this thread! With some lovely coins.... For me, as I'm an avid collector of Kashmir coinage, it has to be this Jaya Simha Kaserah...Unlike the majority of the other rulers, his coinage is noted as having an array of different legends and there is still some controversy over the reading of this particular one. But this is the only type coin I know of where the king is holding the trident in his right hand...This is a very rare type especially being able to see the trident and legend below and what makes it that little bit more special is it was in a small lot so only cost a couple of bucks! [ATTACH=full]1021030[/ATTACH] Jayasimha ( legend variant ) 1128-1154/5 Copper Kaserah or Punchshi 18mm (6.06gr) Obverse- Goddess Ardochsho/Lakshmi seated 'Sri ma t'(honourable) left and 'Jaya' to the right Reverse- King standing facing and sacrificing at an altar with his left hand.... Interestingly this is the only reverse type where the king is holding the trident in his right hand. 'Sim ha' bottom left and Deva bottom right. Script reads 'Srimat Jayasimhadeva' Ref..A.Cunningham coin number 22 very rare. Not recorded in Mitchiner.[/QUOTE]
