Ruler Name is uncertainInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Kingdom of Kangra is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Lord Shiva, a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features a inscription in Persian, which was the language of the Islamic rulers of the region at the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse history and cultural exchange that occurred in the Indian subcontinent during the medieval period.
