| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two-line Nagari legend boldly struck in the field, reading from top to bottom within an unbordered, irregular flan. The Devanagari characters are rendered in a broad, deeply incised style typical of hammered copper coinage of the early Chauhan period. The legend occupies the majority of the reverse field with no additional decorative elements. The striking is robust and the relief is high, consistent with the hand-struck technique employed for this denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Chauhans of Ajmer — the Shakambhari branch — were a rising Rajput power in the early 12th century, consolidating control over much of what is now Rajasthan before Prithviraj III's eventual defeat at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192 effectively ended the dynasty. The attribution to Somalekha Devi places this issue within a subset of Chauhan copper coinage associated with a female name, possibly a queen or consort, though the precise political circumstances behind her naming on the coinage remain debated among specialists.
Mitchiner's NI#464 attribution groups these within his broader Northern India series. Copper jitals of this period circulated at the lowest denomination level and saw heavy use in local markets.
