Comments
In 1071, these coins were issued at 10 Cash to meet military expenses, but they were later de-valued to 3 Cash, then to 2 Cash in 1073. It is difficult to distinguish which coins were issued as 10, 3, or 2 Cash coins.
Hartill's example of this script is visibly smaller than other coins of the same denomination.
