Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Gaurinath Singha, who was the king of the Ahom dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Assam in the Indian North-East from 1703 to 1717 and again from 1781 to 1795. 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.
