AFGHANISTAN - HORSE MAN & BULL - SAMANT DEWA -HINDU SHAHI - SILVER COIN - 3.21gmSilver drachm (jital), ca.870-950 AD, late Kabul Shahi (Tye #21)
Horseman right, holding banner; Nagari Bhi in the upper left, Adl (?) in Arabic in the upper right / śri samanta deva in Nagari, recumbent zebu bull to left with symbol on rump; to left, star above pellet above crescent. Uncertain mint in (Kabul or Ohind?). 20mm, 3.21 grams. Tye #21. SKU 42565
Samanta Deva just meant "The Feudatory Chield" - it was the title assumed by the Kabul Shahi and their Islamic successors, and was probably not a personal name. Hundreds of types of jitals inscribed "Samanta Deva" (in imitation of this type) were struck by numerous dynasties in the later period. The Kabul Shahi dynasties also called Shahiya ruled the Kabul Valley (in eastern Afghanistan) and the old province of Gandhara (northern Pakistan) during the Classical Period of India, from the decline of the Kushan Empire in the 3rd century to the early 9th century. They are split into two eras the Buddhist-Shahis and the later Hindu-Shahis with the change-over occurring around 870. These coins are of full size and weight, but were probably not minted by Samanta Deva but can be considered anonymous issues of his successorsAntonivs Protti

O: uncertain legend, recumbent bull, l.
R: uncertain legend, horseman r., holding spear in r.
Of billons and the silver coins issued by Rajputs, the seated bull and horseman was the invariable device. They were first struck by the Brahman Kings of Ohind (Gandhara) on silver, the commonest were the issues of Spalapati Deva and Samanta Deva. The name of the king surrounded the bull in a circular style, wherein the undeciphered script (Turanian ??) appeared on the obverse above bull. These type of coins were continued by the Tomaras, Chauhans of Delhi, Rathors of Kanauj, Rajputs of Narwar and the Amritapala rajas of Badayun. They were all mostly struck on billon. The invariable device Bull and Horseman lasted the next three centuries in the hands of Kangra kings.

Reino Shahi de Kabul y GandharaEste tipo de monedas es muy común, las acuñaciones del "vaca-caballero" pervivieron durante muchas décadas (alrededor de 4 siglos) en la zona del actual Afganistán, Pakistán y norte de la India. Se conocen también con el nombre de jittal o jital, y se cree que Samanta Deva fue un título, más que el nombre de un gobernante en concreto.
El reino Shahi fue establecido a principios del siglo IX en Kabul por Lagaturman, un ministro brahman de origen turco. La expansión islámica de finales del siglo IX obligó a los shahi a buscar refugio al sur, estableciendo su nueva capital en Ohind, en donde el reino pervivió, aunque con enfrentamientos con el reino vecino de Cachemira, hasta la derrota definitiva a principios del siglo XI, ante los ghaznávidas de Mahmud de Ghazni.

Tye 14.1, Deyell 45Shahis (ca. 850-1,000 A.D.). AR jital, possibly Ohind mint, average silver content ca. 69%, average weight 3.3 g., 18 mm.
Obv: Recumbent bull facing left, trishula on its rump, Sri Samanta Deva, in Nagari script, above.
Rev: Horseman bearing lance facing right, Bhi above to left and Ma [?] above to right, both in Nagari script.
Tye rarity rating Abundant.
The history of the Shahi dynasties is almost unknown. The Hindu Shahi dynasty succeeded an earlier Buddhist Shahi dynasty, and was founded in 870 A.D. by Kallar, a Brahmin vazir to the last Buddhist king. The kingdom included portions of Kabulistan (the eastern territories of Greater Khorasan centered around Kabul, now in Afghanistan) and the old province of Gandhara (now in northern Pakistan), with capitals at Kabul and Ohind (in Gandhara). They lost Kabul to the Saminids around 988 A.D. and lost Ohind to Mahmud of Ghazni around 988 A.D. The coins bearing the legend Sri Samanta Deva (= Lord Feudatory Chief) were issued further east and later (albeit, with overlap) than those bearing the legend Sri Spalapati Deva (= Lord Commander of the Army).Stkp
