Comment
The letter Pra Na on the obverse
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Tibetan influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a lion, which is a common motif in Indian coinage, while the reverse side features the Tibetan mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" written in the Ranjana script. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural exchange and religious syncretism that characterized the Kingdom of Cooch-Behar during its history.
