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 standing figure of Chandra Deva, a Hindu deity, while the reverse side features the Buddhist wheel of dharma, also known as the Dharmachakra. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Indian Northern Dynasties during that time period.
