Hunnic Tribes in Sind & Gujarat Rana Vigraha ca. 713-717 A.D. Damma VF -- #AC95107
AR Damma 8mm. 0.40g. Stylized head r.
SRI RANA VIGRAHA ('Lord Rana Vigraha' in Brahmi) around highly stylized bull.
cf. Fishman & Todd, Y12 VF. Lightly toned and with lustre in recesses. Rare. Crudely produced, as typical. Struck with very worn obverse die. A recently identified pre-Islamic type. While this example initially appears to be uniface, the reverse matches that of the highly stylized bull types, which were struck with increasingly poor quality and worn-out obverse dies; we believe this is an example struck with an almost obliterated obverse die. According to Fishman & Todd, Rana Vigraha can be identified as Jayasimha, the last ruler of Sind before the Arab invasion. This crude series is thought to have been struck during his exile following his defeat.

Baktria Western Turks Sandan (Candana), 'Lord of the Oxus' after 688 A.D. Drachm Good VF -- #AC101282

Fire altar flanked by attendants; star and crescent flanking flames; Pahlavi inner legend ('increase,' 'from glory'); Baktrian legend in outer margin citing the Baktrian Khagan (supreme leader).
Vondrovec 244; c/m: Göbl, Dokumente KM 103 Good VF. Toned. Some porosity. This type features three languages - Baktrian, Brahmi, and Pahlavi - which pinpoints its issuance to Baktria. This issue was formerly cited as originating from the Shahi Turks or Nezak Huns, specifically to the reign of Shahi Tegin (Sri Shahi), but reassessment of the legends by Vondrovec has placed its origin to the north, in Baktria. Similarly, the issuer is now understood to be one named Sandan, of whom little is known, but whose name is attested in both the Baktrian and Brahmi legends. The Brahmi inscription also offers the title 'vakhudevah,' or 'Lord of the Oxus,' further evidencing a Baktrian origin. Later countermarking with dynastic tamgha symbols and the addition of a debased gold plug at the neck of the portrait were likely intended to raise its value.  Reduced from: $140
