| Additional information |
Shivadeva II ruled the Licchavi kingdom of Nepal during a period when the dynasty was increasingly entangled in Tibetan political pressure from the north and Gupta successor-state influence from the south. His reign in the late seventh century produced a relatively narrow window of autonomous coinage, and copper units of this type are among the few tangible administrative artifacts from that compressed period.
