Comment

This type was incorrectly attributed by Mitchiner to the Pallava king Narasimha (see MNI# 696), who misread the reverse legend and ignored the fact that, stylistically speaking, it belongs to the 13th century and not the earlier medieval period.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Jaitra Simha, a prominent ruler of the Chauhan dynasty, on one side, and an inscription in the Devnagari script on the other. The inscription translates to "Jaitra Simha, the lord of Ranathambore," indicating the coin's origin and the ruler it represents.
