Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Nara Narayan 1477 (1555) coin from the Kingdom of Cooch-Behar is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Tibetan influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Nara Narayan, while the reverse side features the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, along with the Tibetan mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" written in the Ranjana script. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Indian North-Eastern Dynasties and their connections with Tibet.
