Description

LOCAL ISSUES, Sind. Multan. Yashaditya, circa 679-712. Damma (Silver, 10 mm, 0.88 g). Bust of Yashaditya to right, wearing crown decorated with dots. Rev. Trident; around, SRI YASHADITYA ('Lord Sun of the Glory' in Brahmi). Fishman & Todd, p. 73ff. Zeno-205718 ( this coin ). Minor corrosion, otherwise, very fine.

From the collection of Dr. D. Löer, ex Heritage Europe Auction 60, 17 November 2018, 5680 and Spink Auction 5010, 30 June 2005, 60.

It is likely that YASHADITYA (Sun of the Glory) was the Raja Dahir of Alor (679-712). This is one of the last coins issued by the Hindu kings of Multan before the Islamic invasion in 712.
