Which Dynasty? [solved]

3 posts • viewed 60 times

A super quality Billon Drachm I just purchased and I'm assuming it's a Vaghela Dynasty Drachm of Indo-Sassanian bust type (Gadhaiya Paisa), weighing nearly 5 grams and it's very very thick coin. Can you guys please please identify the actual dynasty name and time period! Any link of Zeno or other verified numismatic database will definitely help me out for the exact match. Thanking you all for going through this lovely specimen :)

Check out this post about the different kinds of Gadhaiya paisas: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/indo-sassanian-the-evolution-of-the-gadhaiya-paisa.348516/ 

These can't be connected to certain dynasties with great certainty, but at least they can be put on a crude timeline. Your coin looks like one of the later ones, so it is possible to belong to the Vaghela dynasty. Even on Zeno, the Gadhaiya paisas are just on one page, without any subgroups or further categorization.

Relevant links to Numista and Zeno.

You've made my day, it's an incredible article on Gadhaiya Paisa coins consisting of some great contents and photographs. Thank you so so much.
