Bull and Horseman Jital

5 posts • viewed 106 times
Hello,

I recently picked up an unidentified Bull and Horseman Jital from a local coin store. It does show some heavy wear in patches but what details are there, including the multi-bordered, box-like body of the bull with a dot in the center, seems to be fairly distinctive. That said, I am having difficulty finding a good match for this coin. In some ways, it looks like a cross between

What looks like multiple horns coming off the bull's head seem at odds with available images. Does anyone recognize this one or can you help point me in the right direction?

Thank you very much!

There very similar.
A detail on reverse is more similar to the second coin you picked

I believe you are correct! Thank you Frenchlover!

It is difficult when the planchet and stamp aren't well aligned but after you pointed out that one detail, others in shape and design are more apparent.
Hi,
Th lettering is not complete but the bull side of the jital does seem to read like "sama....". So i would go with Iltutmish jital.
