PLEASE NOTE: The illustrated coin is for informational purpose only; the coin you receive will be a different one! See the illustration below for a random sample of these coins.
I have obtained a large group of absolutely superb examples of the well-known "gadhaiya paisa" of Gujarat. Deyell firmly assigns these to the Chalukyas, but Mitchiner feels they may also have been issued by the Paramaras of Malwa.
