Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist motifs. The obverse side of the coin depicts Lord Siva, while the reverse side features the Buddhist wheel of dharma, or the Dharmachakra, surrounded by the legend "Akari Gabhuru" in Assamese script. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Kingdom of Assam during that time period.
