Islamic Bronzes of Kashmir Smast

Five Islamic coins were found in Kashmir Smast, among Hunnic and Hindu Shahi bronzes.

Fabric. The coins are issued in the Kashmir Smast standard, between .6 to 1.1 g, on thin copper flans of 7 to 9 mm diameters. The general execution is crude.

Emission three is executed in a Multan and Sindh Amirate style, on a larger flan. Coin 1 resembles crude Ghaznavid bronzes. All coins are unpublished and potentially unique. The legends are yet to be properly deciphered and examined.
