GHAZNAVIDS, Sabuktakin (Sebuktegin), (A.H. 366-388) (A.D. 977-997), silver dirhems, no mint or date, similar for Mahmud (A.H. 388-421) (A.D. 998-1030), and for Mawdud (A.H.432-441) (A.D. 1041-1050), (A.1599, 1605, 1626, M.753, cf.771 and 780). Extremely fine and scarce. (3)
These dirhems although not stated were probably all struck at Farwan. The narrow thickish fabric of this type was derived from the dramma of the Hindushahi kings of Kabul (Spalapati Deva and Samanta Deva). This denomination was later debased and seems to have been known as a jital from about A.H. 500.
