Step back into the rich history of medieval India with this ND Jital coin attributed to the reign of Mahi Pala and his successors in the Pala dynasty. Struck in billon, a low-silver alloy, these coins represent the enduring legacy of Bengal and Bihar during the 13th century CE. Each piece is an authentic remnant of one of the most influential dynasties in Eastern India.

The coin features the famous “bull and horseman” design, one of the longest-lasting motifs in Northern Indian coinage. Originally introduced by the Hindu Shahi kings of Gandhara, the type was adopted by multiple dynasties, including the Tomaras and Chauhans, before continuing under later rulers. The design on this Mahi Pala issue is more abstract, with only stylized remnants of the bull and horseman visible.

Issued after 1266 CE, the Mahi Pala Jital reflects the transitional nature of medieval Indian coinage. While the imagery retained traditional elements, rulers often added their own distinct legends and adaptations. On these coins, the inscription “Sri Mahi Pala” appears alongside the simplified design, affirming the ruler’s authority while continuing the established currency style.

Certified Genuine by IGC, this coin offers collectors a tangible connection to medieval India’s artistry, economy, and political history. Despite their small size, Jitals like this one represent centuries of continuity, conquest, and cultural blending in the Indian subcontinent.
