Note compiled from the eBay listing and elsewhere: The "Gadhaiya" coinage imitated derivatives of Sasanian prototypes and was issued by the Chalukyas and later the Paramaras in Gujarat and Malwa. The face on this coin is highly degenerated. The Paramaras introduced letters on their coins; this one has the letter ja at left. It also has additional symbols at right: an inverted triangle topped by a sun and moon. In addition, it carries the legend Sri Omkara on the reverse. Mitchiner says this indicates it was issued by the Omkara Mandhata Monastery in Malwa.

At these times the monasteries were the centers of the culture and played a major role in the economy of India by employing people from the surrounding countryside for various purposes. The coins coined at the monastery were probably used to pay these employees. Omkara is a large monastery located on the northern bank of the river Narbada near Mandhata in Indore.

Deyell lists several coins with additional symbols at right ... a triangle alone (Dey 172), a star-shaped sun (Dey 173), a flower (Dey 174), a sceptre (Dey 175), a circle (Dey 176) and a cross (Dey 177). Mitchiner publishes only the Dey 172, 173 and 176 types (MNI 436-440). This type, with inverted triangle topped by sun and moon (chandrabindu) appears to be unpublished and is presumably very rare, though a few other examples have recently appeared on the market.
