Comment
Some late issues (examples F & G above) replaced either the bull or the horseman with Arabic legends. The final step was taken when coins were made in the standard Islamic fashion with legends on both sides and no bull or horseman.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ghiyas ud-Din Muhammad, the last ruler of the Ghurid dynasty, who was known for his military campaigns and cultural achievements. Despite being made of billon, a copper-silver alloy, the coin weighs only 2.94 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar composition. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and was not meant to be a high-value denomination. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during a specific period (1206-1215 AD) makes it a valuable piece for collectors and historians interested in the monetary history of the Ghurid dynasty.
