| Reverse description | The reverse displays a similarly crude hammered strike on an irregular copper flan, heavily patinated with green cuprite deposits. A central motif, possibly comprising stylized Sharada or Devanagari script characters or a symbolic device, is visible in the field, though details are obscured by wear and corrosion. The border is irregular and partially flat, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the Kangra hill state tradition. The overall execution reflects the primitive minting practices characteristic of this regional issue. |

| Additional information |
Kangra's medieval copper jitals remain among the least systematically documented coinage of the northwestern Hindu hill kingdoms, with attribution often disputed between successive dynastic phases of the Katoch rulers. The designation "inconnu" signals that this piece has resisted firm placement within any established type sequence — a situation not uncommon for issues where local production was intermittent and die-cutting inconsistent enough to blur dynastic boundaries.
