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 Hindu deity, possibly Lord Vishnu, while the reverse side features a Buddhist wheel and a legend in the Tibetan script. This fusion of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the time period.
