P.S.: These horse type coins were first attributed to Damazada I by Robert Senior.These horse type coins were attributed to Chastana (since the coin was not fully read). The Known coins and the coin shown here includes the word Zamotikaputrasa and so they had been assumed to be issues of Chastana, the only known son of Zamotika. However, Robert Senior discovered a coin on which he could read part of the name of Dāmazāda, who was also known from coins of the next type, and it became clear that Zamotika must have had at least two sons, Chastana and Dāmazāda, and that Dāmazāda was the issuer of the horse coins (Source: Coin India). These coins are rare in the series.
