Good very fine, Rare.

The Lohara dynasty ended with Vantideva, the son of Paramanuka and power passed into the hands of the Damaras and the Lavanyas, powerful feudatories. They effectively became kingmakers and installed their pawns on the throne. Jassaka or Yashaskara was the second of such puppets. Although he ruled for almost two decades, his coins are very rare.
