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 Nara Narayan, the ruler of the kingdom, in a seated posture, while the reverse side features the Tibetan Buddhist deity, Avalokiteshvara, in a standing posture. This fusion of Indian and Tibetan elements reflects the cultural exchange and religious tolerance that existed during the rule of the Cooch-Behar dynasty in the Indian subcontinent.
