It is not known who issued these coins, but stylistically they can be dated to the post-Shahi Islamic period in the modern Pakistan. It is not known at this point who this person was and the exact location where these were minted is not known as well. However, these coins are often found alongside bronze or billon jitals of the Ghaznavid ruler Masud III (1099-1115 AD), and were probably issued by the Ghaznavids or a minor dynasty from this period from just outside the Ghaznavid realm.
