Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Kingdom of Assam, which was one of the lesser-known kingdoms in the Indian subcontinent during that time period. Despite its relatively small size, the kingdom was known for its rich cultural heritage and its unique architectural style, which was influenced by both Indian and Southeast Asian traditions. The coin itself is a testament to the kingdom's economic and political significance during that era.
