1 Jital - The Chahamanas – Sri Ha

This series of coins is a part of Track 2 of Indo-Sassanian Coinage - Eastern Indo-Sassanian coinage, tentative period 7th to 8th Century CE 

Track 2 consists of 3 series- 

Vasudeva’s Imitations 

Sri Ha series

Sri Ha Derivatives

KK Maheshwari in his book Imitations in Continuity places the  coins in order as listed above.

Steve Williams (Finn235) debates that the Derivative coins came before the Sri Ha series, based on various features that appear or aren’t present in either of the 2 series.

Sri Ha series of coins present – 

Obverse - a portrait to right; above the crown Devanagari “Sa” within a circle, but this feature is mostly out of flan; in front of the portrait is stylized representation of Devanagari “Sri” with variations and below the Sri is Devanagari letter “Ha” also with minor variations.

Reverse - the standard replication of Sasanian style Fire Altar found on almost all coins of the Indo-Sasanian series
