Shipping calculated at checkout.

A mix of Samanta Deva billon and silver jitals, some very Kabulshahi but mostly post-Shahi Punjabi jitals (type Tye 33; Deyell 235) with a few other contemporary issues in the mix. Very nice mix, good quality. The photo below is of the actual coins in this lot. The price is 3$ per coin.

It is not known who issued these coins, but stylistically they can be dated to the very last years of the Kabul Shahi in northern India immediate post-Shahi Islamic period. These billon or silver-plated coins are debased versions of the very late Kabulshahi silver coins (Tye 32). They likely come from the last Kabulshahi strongholds in Gandhara or northern Punjab, though it is not known at this point who this person was and the exact location where these were minted is not known as well.
