Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Brajanath Gohain, who was the king of the Ahom dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Assam in the Indian North-Eastern Dynasties. The Ahom dynasty was known for its unique culture, language, and religious practices, and this coin reflects the rich history and heritage of that region.
