Rajput kingdoms of North India, uncertain dynasty, 'bull and horseman' type billon jital of Pipala Raja, (1168-1170 AD), 3.26g. Obv: Bull seated left, Devanagari legend …(Sa)manta Deva around; number '1' on the jhula of bull. Rev: Horseman right, with Devanagari legend (Sri) Pipala… around. Deyell 215.

Very fine+, Very rare.

Jitals of Pipala Raja are amongst the rarest of the 'bull and horseman' series. Although it is not certain to which dynasty did Pipala Raja belonged to, it is likely that he was ruling in Eastern Rajasthan, probably a feudatory/contemporary of Chahmanas of Naddula (Nadol). His chronological placement was decided by Deyell based on hoard evidence.
