Interesting fact

The 1 Jital coin from the Kingdom of Kangra (Indian Northern Dynasties) made of Billon and weighing 2.77g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the reign of Devangga Chandra Deva, who was a powerful king in the region during the 15th century. The coin's design and inscriptions provide valuable insight into the cultural and religious beliefs of the people during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, suggests that the kingdom had a strong economy and was capable of producing high-quality currency.
