Gold coins of the Hindu Shahi King Bhīmadeva

Abstract:
This paper discusses a type of pre-Islamic medieval Indian gold coinage, attributed to the Hindu Śāhi (Shahi) king Bhīmadeva, that was published several decades ago but forgotten in the discourse. It brings forth five other specimens of the type and the discussion offers new readings of the legends and new interpretations of the iconography, contextualizing these features with epigraphic, numismatic and historic details. It also underlines the importance of this type for the Hindu Śāhi chronology.
