Tomaras of Gwalior - gold ½ dinar of Virasimha (c.1350-1400), unpublished in major sources, 20.62mm, 3.60g. Obv: Kubera seated cross-legged in a frontal manner holding a danda in right hand and a lotus in left. Rev: Nagari legend in two lines Shri Madveera / Simha Rama.
Extremely fine, Exceedingly rare.
Virasimha was the first known ruler of the Tomara dynasty of Gwalior. His rise to power is dated to the second half of 14th century and he was granted Gwalior by the later Tughlaq Sultans of Delhi. The attribution of the coin to him is tentative but fits the very end of the 'Lakshmi'-type gold coinage of North India with the goddess being replaced by her male counterpart, Kubera.
