Jital - Mahipala Deva

The Pala Empire had effectively collapsed by the mid-12th century under sustained Sena dynasty pressure, meaning coins attributed to later Pala rulers like Mahipala Deva were likely struck by fragmented successor authorities clinging to dynastic branding rather than a functioning imperial administration. The Tye 39 attribution places this firmly in the debased late series, where copper jitals circulated across Bengal and Bihar in a monetary environment already absorbing Ghurid and early Delhi Sultanate coinage.
