Sri Adivaraha in Sharada script referring to the Man-Boar Avatar of Lord Vishnu // Three dot motif surrounded by stylized Sri Ta-Pa with a cross, and Lillah Munabbih in Kufic/Arabic. 9.5mm, 0.45 grams. Multan mint. Fishman and Todd M75.3 (this coin).

Rare, a very nice example. A plate coin from the Fishman/Todd "The Silver Damma" (the standard reference for this sort of coinage), pictured as type M75.3 (page 306).

Munabbih’s coins carry an obverse legend in Sharada script श्री अदिवराह “Sri Adivarāha”. This continued the style of the coins of Munabbih’s father Assad, although “Srimad” was replaced with the simpler “Sri” and “Varāha” was changed to “Adivarāha”. Adivarāha (also known as Bhuvarāha) is one of the three worshipped forms of Varāha (the others being Pralayavarāha and Yajnavarāha), particularly popular in 9th century CE northern India. Finding an epithet referencing the boar avatar of Vishnu on a coin of Sunni muslim ruler is odd, but it was probably the personal biruda of Munabbih I, which he adopted in imitation of Mihira Bhoja, who was long dead at this point. The implied meaning of this biruda would be that Munabbih rescued his land from enemies the way Varāha rescued earth from the demon. 

The Samids of Multan claimed descent from the Banu Sama which was a part of the Quraysh tribal federation based out of Mecca. They were settled in Oman prior to moving to Sindh and capturing the city of Multan. The Samids ruled Multan till its annexation by Mahmud of Ghazni towards the end of the tenth century CE. Madhumati is a Sanskritization of the Arabic name Muhammad.
