Scene of battle field with the victor mounted on horse and marching to right, holding sword up with both hands symbolizing victory, A warrior lying seated on the ground in front, All within a dotted border, Nagari legend in left field reading ‘ShriDevap (la)’
this coin & the 3 below recently came up in an auction - the lot seem to form a complete battle story depicting the various stages of war right from marching towards the battle field, an active day time war scene, a night scene and finally the show of victory (this coin)
till now, attribution for the Battle scene Gadhaiya coins was unclear, the two tentative contenders were Paramars of Malwa or Silharas of Konkan
with this coin surfacing, the debate perhaps will end with a clear attribution of the Battle series to Devapala (Paramara dynasty)
