| Beschrijving keerzijde | Octagonal reverse field occupied entirely by a four-line Bengali devotional inscription arranged in horizontal registers. The legend reads 'Shri Shri Hara Gauri Charana Kamala Madhukarasya', meaning 'the bee at the lotus feet of Shri Shri Hara (Shiva) and Gauri (Parvati)', invoking the royal patron deities of the Ahom kingdom. The bold, raised Bengali lettering is deeply struck and fills the flan in a manner consistent with other Ahom coinage of the period. The surface shows the characteristic irregular texture of a hammered issue. No additional decorative elements or border devices are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chandrakanta Singha ruled Assam twice — his reign was interrupted by Burmese invasion and restoration by the British, a political instability that makes attributing his coinage to specific years genuinely difficult. The Kingdom of Assam was effectively finished as a sovereign entity by 1826 with the Treaty of Yandabo, which transferred the region to the East India Company following the First Anglo-Burmese War.
KM#249 is among the final issues of independent Assamese coinage before that absorption.
