Tripura / Chittagong, Tanka, 9.78g Tripura / Chittagong, Tanka, 9.78g, in the name of Sikandar Shah countermarked with a lion`s head, probably in Tripura, countermark and coin very fine, very rare Provenance:Sikandar Shah was the Arabic name of the Arakanese ruler, Min Palaung, who ruled from AH 980 to 1003 (AD 1571-1593). The host coin is a variant of G&G. B1014. In JONS 203 (2010), Nicholas Rhodes illustrates this and five other coins then known with the same countermark. He then goes on to postulate various possible reasons for the countermark, concluding that it was most likely applied by the Tripura authorities to validate the coins for export.

Cooch Behar, Lakshmi Narayan (1587-1627), Tanka, 26mm, 10.10g, Sk 1509, legends in four lines on both sides: obv.: Śri Śri/ Śiva Charana/ Kamala Madhu/ Karasya, rev. Śri; Śrima/n Lakshmi Naraya/nasya Śake/ 1509, both sides within ornamental border of cusped arcs, 13 on the obverse and 14 on the reverse (RB. 18; KM-), good very fine and extremely rare Provenance:Lakshmi Narayan was the son of Nara Narayan. He was a rather weak ruler who, around 1596, declared himself a vassal of the Mughals, much to his subject`s disgust. This led to unrest in the state; he went to the Mughal governor in Dacca, where he was detained for 4 years. His coins follow the pattern of his father, except that far more Half-Tankas were struck. The present coin is one of only four known specimens with this particular type of decorative border. All four coins differ in the number of arches in the borders.

He was opposed to Lakshmi Narayan`s submissive policy towards the Mughals and, as a result, had to contend with various Mughal campaigns to bring him to heel. View Terms & Conditions

Śri Śrima/t Prana Naraya/nasya Śake/ 1554, both sides within double circle and border of beads; "4" of date reversed (RB. 37; KM. 74), slight adhesions, good very fine, rare Provenance:Prana Narayan`s coins do not follow the previous tradition of having fixed dates but have the date of striking, initially in Saka years and then in Rajsaka (Cooch Behar era) years. The full Tankas of Prana Narayan are the last in the Cooch Behar series. They were soon superseded by the Half-Tankas, which became the staple coinage from then onwards. Those of Prana Narayan are relatively common, much more so than the full Tankas, which are quite rare. It is noteworthy that it was during this reign that the Ahoms in Assam began to strike coins. Trade must have been flourishing in the area at the time. View Terms & Conditions
