Interesting fact
The Chakradhwaj Singha (without lion) coin from the Kingdom of Assam is unique in that it features a depiction of the king holding a chakra (wheel) and a dwaj (flag) on the obverse side, whereas most coins from this dynasty feature a lion on the obverse side. This design change may have been made to signify a shift in the kingdom's political or religious focus.
