MEDIEVAL HORSE COIN OF PAKISTAN
This billon (highly debased silver) jital was struck by Nasir al din Mohammed who ruled Sind from 1249 to 1260AD. Sind is located in south-eastern Pakistan. Sind was once the center of the ancient Indus Valley civilizations. At the time the coin was struck, it was on the edges of competing empires, so was able to re-establish its own independence. The coin is highly unusual for the period in that it has a clear pictorial design featuring a horse. Some theorize that this signifies the resurgence in the trade of war horses that had thrived in the area in earlier years before the invasion of Ghenghiz Khan.
