Which Ruler? [решено]

3 сообщений • просмотрено 80 раз

A silver Drachm I bought recently, looking like a Pala Empire issue, modelled on the Gurjara Pratihara dynasty Drachm coin with fire altar, but can't identify the ruler or the specific time period. Please please help me out, thanking you all for going through this specimen :)

There are a couple of examples on Zeno: https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=2979 Most of those are not attributed to a ruler, or it has just some vague information about it. That being said, the attributed ones are mostly from Vigrahapala I. (850 - 853) and successors. This is not very exact, but I'm afraid that these coins have very little text on them, so definitely connecting them to a certain ruler might not be possible.

 

I think that these are the closest ones:

and this is the corresponding page on Numista: N#47660

You made my day, you've dug through a lot of sources for me. Thank you so so much 🙏🏻.
