Step back in time to the foundational era of the Delhi Sultanate with this striking Billion Jital, issued under the reign of Mu'izz al-din Muhammad bin Sam between AD 1193 and 1206 (AH 589-602). Struck in billon, this historic coin weighs 3.52 grams and is officially cataloged as G&G D10, famously known as the Dehliwal type. The obverse features a classic, stylized bull facing left, elegantly surmounted by the legend 'Sri Mahamada Sama' in Nagari script. The reverse displays a galloping horseman to the right, accompanied by the Nagari inscription 'Sri Hamira'. Preserved in an impressive Extremely Fine condition, this specimen showcases remarkable clarity on both sides, allowing numismatists to appreciate the fine details of Indo-Islamic transition coinage. This piece holds immense appeal for historians and advanced collectors of medieval Indian currency, bridging the gap between Rajput traditions and early Sultanate rule. It represents a tangible artifact from a pivotal epoch in South Asian history, making it a distinguished addition to any serious cabinet of rare historical coins.
