All of these are very rare except the rupee, which is scarce. View Terms & Conditions

Q2.1; KM. 182B), good very fine, very rare Provenance:The death of RajeŚvara Simha in 1769 led to a succession dispute between those supporting Rudra Simha`s youngest son, Lakshmi Simha and those supporting RajeŚvara`s son. In the meantime, power was in the hand of the Borbarua, one of the five councillors of state, who, on one occasion, seriously offended the Moamaria Gosain, a caste of Assamese Brahmins who were devotees of Vishnu and bore a grudge against the Ahom rulers. The Moamarias rebelled, captured the Ahom capital, and placed their own king on the throne in the form of Ramakanta Simha. A few coins of this king are known and one will feature in the second of the Rhodes north-east India auctions. The Moamaria rebellion was soon quelled and, in 1770, Lakshmi Simha retook possession of the throne and issued some Ahom-legend coins, with their invocation toPha Lengdon. View Terms & Conditions

Q23.1, 35.1; KM. 181, 177), very fine to good very fine, scarce (2) Provenance:In his first year, apart from the very rare Ahom-legend coins, Lakshmi Simha issued two types of Assamese-legend coins, this one with its Vaishnava invocations and the usual Śivaite type with its invocation to Hara and Gauri. The former may have been issued as an attempt to appease the Moamarias. View Terms & Conditions

Śake 1706 (RB. -; KM. 227), very fine, rare Provenance:RB does not list a Quarter-Mohur of Sk. 1706 without a regnal year below the date.

R23.1; KM. 227), good very fine, rare Provenance:During the period Sk. 1710 to 1715, when Gaurinatha Simha was either in Guwahati or seeking, with British help, to regain his throne, far fewer coins seem to have been struck, especially Rupees, some dates of which are very rare.

View Terms & Conditions

R117.1, R120.1, R123.1; KM. 202, -), very fine, rare (3) Provenance:The "di" is believed to represent a mint at Dichoi, the "ra" possibly for Rangpur, but unlikely as this town was surrendered to the Moamarias soon after Gaurinatha`s re-installation ceremony in Sk. 1716. The "pa" remains unexplained but, again, could well refer to a mint at another as yet unidentified town. View Terms & Conditions

Their purpose was said to be for making small charitable donations as there was a shortage of cowries. View Terms & Conditions

Assam, Kamalesvara Simha (1795-1810), octagonal Rupee, 11.24g, Sk. 1720, Śri Śri Hara/ Gauri Charana Ka/mal... Assam, Kamalesvara Simha (1795-1810), octagonal Rupee, 11.24g, Sk. 1720, Śri Śri Hara/ Gauri Charana Ka/mala Makaranda/ Madhukarasya, rev. Śri Śri Svarga/ Deva Śri Kamalesva/ra Simha Narendrasya/ Śake 1720, winged lion running left below (RB. S5.1; KM. 238), toned very fine, very rare Provenance:After the death of Gaurinatha Simha, one of his descendents, KamaleŚwara, was placed on the throne by the all-powerful Burha Gohain. The three Gohains were very important councillors of state, little inferior to the king in rank. Although KamaleŚwara began his reign in Sk. 1717 (AD 1795), no coins in his name are known in his name until Sk. 1720 (AD 1798) and even these are all very rare. It seems as though hardly any coins were struck in Assam throughout the whole of KamaleŚvara`s reign, unless coins continued to be struck posthumously in the name of Gaurinatha Simha.

Assam, Brajnatha Simha (1817/18 - 1819), octagonal gold Mohur, 11.34g, Sk. 1739, Śri Śri Radha/ Krishna Charana K... Assam, Brajnatha Simha (1817/18 - 1819), octagonal gold Mohur, 11.34g, Sk. 1739, Śri Śri Radha/ Krishna Charana Ka/mala Makaranda/ Madhukarasya, rev. Śri Śri Svarga/ Deva Śri Brajana/tha Simha/ Nripasya / Śake 1739, lion below, running to left (RB. T1.2; KM. 271), good very fine, rare Provenance:When KamaleŚvara Simha died in 1810, his younger brother, Chandrakanta Simha, replaced him. No coins are known in his name during this, the first of his two reigns. In 1816, a disgraced minister, the Bar Phukan, invited the Burmese to invade Assam. This they did, promoting the Bar Phukan to the position of Chief Minister and after receiving a large indemnity, they returned home. The new Chief Minister made many enemies and was soon assassinated. Nor did he have any supporters so the son of the late Burha Gohain, having taken refuge in Guwahati, was invited back, as Chief Minister. This latter did not support Chandrakanta Simha, as he thought he was responsible for the recent travails that had beset the state; rather, he espoused the cause of Brajnatha Simha, a great-grandson of RajeŚvara Simha. Chandrakanta fled to Rangpur, and Brajnatha took his place. Interestingly, it is reported that the priests were not willing to formally install Brajnatha as king as he had a mutilated ear, it being an Ahom custom that the king should have no disfigurement. Instead they installed his young son, Purandara Simha, as king in his stead. Effectively it must have been Brajnatha who held all the power as coins are known in his name, while none are known in the name of his son. No coins of Brajnatha Simha are common; they vary from scarce to very rare. View Terms & Conditions

Assam, Chandrakanta Simha, second reign (1819-21), octagonal gold 1/16-Mohur, 0.74g, Śri Cha/ndrakanta, rev. Simha Na/rendrasya (RB. U5.1; KM. 253), very fine, very rare Provenance:In 1819, supporters of Chandrakanta, again sought help from the Burmese. The latter agree to help them and successfully invaded Assam. This time they did not return home but stayed, having restored Chandrakanta to the throne. The king, however, was dissatisfied with being a Burmese puppet and fled to British territory from where he made a number of unsuccessful raids against the Burmese. When the Burmese failed to coax Chandrakanta back to Assam, they replace him with an Ahom prince of uncertain ancestory, by name of JogeŚvara Simha. View Terms & Conditions

Hardly anything is known about him except that he struck coins during the years Sk. 1715-1717 and appears to have handed control of the rebellion back to Bharatha as soon as the latter started striking coins again.
