1 Jital - Kapa Chandra Deva

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.
