Looks indeed like the horseman-bull jital.
This picture is better to identify the horseman and bull

Anonymous "Post-Shahi" BI Jital, Tye 33.
"Sri Samanta Deva" in Nagari above bull.
 India »
Medieval India - Hindu dynasties » Northern India
Date range 900 - 1200 AD. Most likely later in the period. With respect to these anonymous issues (32, 33 and 34) Robert Tye says: "it is unlikely we will ever know exactly who struck what."

Actually, Ducatx is correct.  It is a Jital of Muhammad bin Sam and is the same type as the one posted in numista.  Here is the full attribution as well as a better specimen from Jan Lingen's collection.  I also posted the correct orientation of the original coin.  I used Hindi to transcribe the legends which isn't 100% accurate as Nagari has progressed a bit since the 13th century, but that is the closest script we have in Unicode...

Your welcome.  Note that the key to identification of Indian coins is knowing the script.  Once you do that, you have a good indication of the period and where to look.  Just know the difference between Nagari, Brahmi, Kharosthi, Arabic/Persian, Tamil, Kannada/Telugu and you are pretty much set as you can pinpoint the location and time period.  It is not that hard, really!  But, it doesn't work with Princely States as it is a total mess  

with the information you have already on the horseman-bull, you can try to search this site:
http://www.zeno.ru/index.php
 I had my coin identified there.
 You can try to send a mail for registration, than you will be able to post the pictures there.
