| Additional information |
Kangra's coinage in the fifteenth century was produced under constant pressure from the Lodi Sultanate, which made repeated incursions into the hill states of the Punjab Shivaliks. Narendra Chandra Deva maintained nominal independence during this period, and these small copper jitals are among the few material traces of his reign — the dynastic record for Kangra's rulers in this window is thin enough that the coins themselves function as primary historical evidence.
