There is a gap of almost 60 years for which no coins of Jaintiapur are known. Little is known about the history of this period or about the rulers. From this issue, however, all the coins of Jaintiapur are of the same basic anonymous type; all have the "Star of David" in the same position, all have a single, fixed date for each king, which is presumed to be the accession year.
