| 表面の説明 | Highly stylized humped bull (Nandi) depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic, almost abstract manner characteristic of late medieval north Indian billon coinage. The animal's body is rendered with broad, shallow relief strokes, with the distinctive hump visible along the dorsal line. The field is flat and unadorned, and the flan exhibits the irregular, roughly-finished edges typical of hammered billon jitals of the Kangra hill kingdoms. |

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.
