| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan displaying a central device surrounded by a border of Sharada script legend. The central motif, heavily worn and partially obscured by green patina and corrosion, appears to depict a schematic deity or symbolic figure in low relief. A continuous inscription in Sharada characters encircles the field along the periphery, rendered in the crude, provincial style characteristic of Kangra jitals. The overall fabric is thick and uneven, consistent with hand-struck hill-state coinage of the medieval period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, heavily worn reverse displaying faint traces of an indistinct device, possibly a stylized figure or symbol, rendered in low relief against a flat field. The surface is largely obscured by a thick layer of green patina and corrosion typical of long-circulated copper hill-state coinage. No legible inscription or border is discernible on this face. The irregular flan shape and rough surface confirm hand-hammered production characteristic of medieval Kangra jitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kangra's coinage remains among the least systematically documented of the Himalayan foothills kingdoms, and attributions in this series are frequently provisional. The designation "inconnu" reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty rather than simply an unexamined piece — multiple die types from this region resist clean assignment to specific rulers, partly because the kingdom changed hands repeatedly between local dynasties and Ghaznavid pressure from the northwest.
