Fine, Very rare.
The silver and gold coins struck by Muhammad bin Sam as the sole Ghurid ruler are known in various multiple denominations. While gold has been known in more multiples, silver is only known as single, one-and-half and double denominations. The multiplicity of these denominations is suggested to be a result of monetization of the plunder Muhammad bin Sam took back to Ghazna after his Indian campaigns.
