| Additional information |
Nandana was a fortress town in the Salt Range of what is now Punjab, Pakistan — its mint operated under shifting political control as the Ghaznavid and later Ghurid successor states contested the region. By the early thirteenth century, authority over these frontier mints had fragmented considerably, and local governors like Sharaf Beg issued coinage under their own names while nominally subordinate to larger sultanate structures. The billon content of these jitals varied widely by issuer and mint, making Tye's classification essential for attribution.
