| Additional information |
Kangra's medieval coinage remains one of the least systematically documented series in South Asian numismatics. The hill kingdoms of the western Himalayas operated largely outside the monetary networks of the Delhi Sultanate and later Timurid-influenced polities, striking small copper issues for intensely local circulation within valley markets and temple economies. Megha Chandra Deva's precise regnal dates are not firmly established in the historical record, which is itself characteristic of the fragmentary dynastic documentation surviving from the Katoch rulers of this period.
