Æ Stater - Sugandha Rani

Sugandha Rani ruled Kashmir for roughly two years following the death of her son Shankhavarman, becoming one of the few women in the region's medieval history to issue coinage in her own name. Her reign ended in deposition by the Tantrins — a powerful military faction — marking an early instance of organized soldiery removing a reigning monarch in Kashmiri political history.
