| Beschrijving keerzijde | A humped bull (Nandi) is depicted standing to the left in the central field, rendered in a schematic, linear style consistent with medieval Kangra copper coinage of the Katoch dynasty. The bull's distinctive hump and head are discernible despite the heavily worn and patinated surfaces. A Nagari inscription reading 'Sri Apurva' is placed above the bull in the upper field, identifying the issuing ruler Apurva Chandra Deva. The overall design reflects the Indo-Shaiva iconographic tradition, with the sacred bull serving as a dynastic and religious emblem. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kangra's mid-14th century copper jitals were issued during a period of sustained pressure on the hill kingdoms from the Delhi Sultanate, whose repeated campaigns into the Shivalik foothills forced local rulers into cycles of tribute, rebellion, and reassertion of independence. Apurva Chandra Deva ruled during precisely this friction point, and his copper issues reflect a kingdom maintaining the outward apparatus of sovereignty under considerable external strain.
AKJ#164 is among the less frequently traded Kangra types in the western market, partly due to limited excavation documentation from the region's fortress sites.
