| Additional information |
Triloka Chandra Deva I ruled Kangra during a period of sustained pressure from the Delhi Sultanate's northward campaigns into the Himalayan foothills. Local copper jitals of this type circulated within a regional economy largely insulated from Sultanate monetary control — the hill kingdoms maintained their own issues precisely because Delhi's writ thinned considerably once the terrain rose.
AKJ#27 is among the better-documented types in Awasthi's corpus of Kangra issues, though die alignment and flan preparation vary considerably across known examples.
