Stater - Jagadeva Vuppadevas, Lohars of Kashmir

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.
