| 裏面の説明 | Schematic horseman depicted facing right, seated astride a horse rendered in a highly stylized, degenerate manner consistent with the iconographic conventions of Kangra hill kingdom coinage of the 12th–14th centuries. The figure of the rider is broadly modeled in low relief with minimal detail, the horse's legs suggested by simple linear strokes. The overall design reflects the progressive stylistic degradation common to hammered billon jitals of this regional series, with no legible legend present in the field. |

The Katoch dynasty rulers of Kangra — a hill kingdom tucked into the lower Himalayas above the Punjab plains — issued jitals as a fractional currency well-integrated into the overland trade networks connecting the subcontinent's northern reaches. The Kapa Chandra Deva attribution places this within a ruling line that resisted repeated pressure from the Delhi Sultanate, though Kangra fort itself fell to Mahmud of Ghazni's forces as early as 1009, one of the most storied plunderings of the medieval north.
Billon coinage of this region is frequently encountered with significant die misalignment and irregular flan preparation — not a strike weakness specific to this piece, but a production norm across the entire Kangra jital series.
