Context

Struck in the name of Caliph Mustans'ir Billah. Commonly attributed to the reign of Shams ud-Din Iltutmish (1211-1235), this coin could have also been issued by Raziyyat ud-Dunya Wa ud-Din (1236-1240). Details from Zeno#201512: "This is a specimen of Tye#389/G&G D0047 in name of Caliph al-Mustansir. There's a clear "MuSta" below the bull and part of "ShaLi[Pha]"above the horsehead. These coins usually have a low quality of metal and strike. This makes them sometimes difficult to recognize. We do not believe this coin was issued under the reign of Iltutmish. I have previously suggested that it is more likely that this type was linked to the reign of Razziya Sultana. Issueing this coin under the name of the Caliph migh be a reflection of the precarious position in power of Razziya in Dehli at the time."
