Ahitagaja Kesari is one of the common titles of the Kakatiyas adorned by many of the rulers of the dynasty starting from Prola-I. The coin fabric suggests that the coin is of period of transition between the Nolambas and the Kakatiyas. The above coin hence could be assigned to Prola-I (1052-1076 CE).
