Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jatra Narayan 1704 (1782) silver rupee coin from the Jaintia Kingdom is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a lion, which is a common motif in Western heraldry, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, who is revered as the deity of wealth and prosperity in Indian culture. This fusion of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influences that existed between India and Europe during the 18th century.
