Damma - Sri Yashaditya Type 4

Sri Yashaditya was among the last Hindu rulers of Sindh before the Umayyad campaigns under Muhammad bin Qasim culminated in the Arab conquest of 711–712 AD. The Type 4 classification within his damma series reflects die evolution across what was likely a compressed final phase of minting, as the kingdom's administrative machinery collapsed under military pressure. These fractional silver pieces circulated in a region about to undergo one of the more abrupt monetary transitions in early medieval South Asia — Arab dirhams and their derivatives displacing the damma tradition almost entirely within a generation.
