Bull & Horseman Jital - Iltumish ? [solved]

6 posts
Hi

I've been searching through here and zeno but can't find this exact Jital i have.




From what i can tell, the name of the sultan is written above the supposed "bull" side of the coin. (so off-strike on my coin ...)
This third picture is of this coin on numista(for easier comparison):

I have made an edited thing in paint with differences between my coin and the numista one:

Is my identification correct ? Is this a variation ? Is there any way to tell without seeing the name of the ruler ?

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: also, because of this dumb editor i cannot modify the images to make them smaller. I should've added the letter "l" at the end of their link ...
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."

The "lot" of coins it was in was full of Delhi Sultanate coins. So i assumed it's one of the early Delhi sultans here:

As for not knowing who made them, he might be referring to much earlier types. Here is some guys analyzing such coins in a very awsome way:

It is doable, but the legends needs to be visible. We have analyzed a lot of these coins with the help of Tye and his book. Unfortunately, I don't have Tye's book but Anthony (THCoins) does which helps immensely...
It is coin of Shams al-Din Iltutmish.
You can read "suritana" from the legend to the left of bull which is part of the complete legend "suritana sri samasadina"

​Omg, thank you very much
With your help, i know for certain that is from Iltumish, so now i just have to find the exact variation that i have. And if i can't find the exact one then yay for me for having something not on zeno or numista. :D
