Interesting fact
The 1 Mohur coin from the Princely state of Tripura, made of Gold and weighing 10.34g, is an interesting piece of history because it was issued during the reign of Rama Ganga Manikya in 1743 (1821), and it features a unique blend of Indian and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an image of Lord Vishnu, while the reverse side features a depiction of the royal crest of the Manikya dynasty, which ruled Tripura for over 400 years. This coin is a testament to the cultural exchange and artistic fusion that occurred during the reign of the Princely states in India.
