| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and schematic frontal effigy of the king, derived from the Toramana prototype, depicted with a prominent crown or headdress above a broad, abstracted face rendered in high relief. The royal figure is shown from the waist up with characteristic wing-like or draped shoulders splaying outward, the body reduced to a series of bold, almost geometric forms. Degraded Brahmi legend surrounds the central effigy in the field, partially legible as 'ja ga', representing the abbreviated royal name. The overall artistic style reflects the progressive stylization typical of late Kashmir dynastic coinage, where Kushano-Hephthalite prototypes have been reduced to near-abstract designs through successive generations of die-cutting. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lohars were a Rajput dynasty that held Kashmir through a period of near-constant internal revolt, assassination, and factional war documented in painful detail by Kalhana's Rajatarangini — one of the few genuine historical chronicles produced in medieval India. Jagadeva's reign fell well outside Kalhana's coverage, which ends in 1149, leaving the political circumstances of this issue poorly reconstructed from later sources.
Gold coinage from the terminal Lohar period is exceptionally rare in any condition, the dynasty collapsing under Shah Mir's Islamic sultanate by the mid-fourteenth century, after which the earlier gold fabric was effectively discontinued.
