Correct Sujit.

Tye comment:
Anonymous "Post-Shahi" BI Jital, Tye 33.
"Sri Samanta Deva" in Nagari above bull. India »
Medieval India - Hindu dynasties Northern India
Date range 900 - 1200 AD. Most likely later in the period. With respect to these anonymous issues (32, 33 and 34) Robert Tye says: "it is unlikely we will ever know exactly who struck what."
