1 Jital - Apurva Chandra Deva

Kangra's mid-14th century copper jitals were issued during a period of sustained pressure on the hill kingdoms from the Delhi Sultanate, whose repeated campaigns into the Shivalik foothills forced local rulers into cycles of tribute, rebellion, and reassertion of independence. Apurva Chandra Deva ruled during precisely this friction point, and his copper issues reflect a kingdom maintaining the outward apparatus of sovereignty under considerable external strain.

AKJ#164 is among the less frequently traded Kangra types in the western market, partly due to limited excavation documentation from the region's fortress sites.
