Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Jital coin from the Kingdom of Kangra is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist motifs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a rendition of Lord Vishnu, while the reverse side features the Buddhist wheel of dharma, or the Dharmachakra. This fusion of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Indian Northern Dynasties during the 15th century.
