Ive got here an fully unknown ancient i think indian coin it

This coin is an example of the famous “bull & horseman” billon jital from northern historical India (including parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan). Millions of these were made, generally between 900-1300 AD, by numerous rulers, in dozens of varieties. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine the variety, but maybe some of our members can help, and with the coin in hand you may be able to find a match in one of the references. Yours has a good amount of writing above the bull (if you rotate the top photo 180 degrees), and that can help a lot. Here are a few good sources of information.

Robert Tye’s book Jitals is also a great resource. The illustration pages are available as a free .pdf download (with registration) from https://www.academia.edu/356700/Jitals
