| Full Description: Loharas of Kashmir, Harshadeva (10-11 Century CE), Silver Dinar, Obv: the king, wearing an angular headdress and holding a spear, seated on horseback facing right, Sarada legend "Shri Harshadeva" above, Rev: a goddess seated facing forward, holding a lotus and a vase, 3.06g, 14.25mm, (JONS-208 (2011) # pp.28-33), choice very fine, Extremely Rare. Note: Unlike other varieties of this type, the goddess is not seated on a lotus. A similar coin of a common type where the goddess was seated on lotus was reportedly sold in an international auction for US$ 2000 in 2017. It is plausible that Harshadeva has copied the style of this type from Hindushahis coins. | ||||
