1 Jital - Apurva Chandra Deva

Apurva Chandra Deva ruled Kangra during a period when the hill kingdoms of the northwestern Himalayas maintained a degree of autonomy largely by being too remote and fractious to hold. The Tughlaq sultans of Delhi nominally claimed suzerainty over the region, but practical control was another matter entirely. Small copper jitals like this one circulated almost exclusively within local bazaars and tributary networks — Delhi's silver and gold never fully penetrated the hill economy.

The AKJ sequence for Kangra copper remains poorly documented, making firm attribution of individual reign issues dependent on a handful of reference hoards.
