| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal hammered silver flan bordered by a row of raised beads along all eight edges. The field is occupied entirely by a multi-line legend in Assamese script, arranged in three registers across the coin. The character 'Na' appears beneath the main legend as a privy mark or identifying symbol. The inscriptions are boldly struck with characteristic Ahom calligraphic style, filling the available field without a central motif. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaurinath Singha's reign was defined almost entirely by the Moamoria Rebellion, a prolonged peasant and religious uprising that destabilized the Ahom kingdom so thoroughly that Burmese intervention became, paradoxically, the royalist solution. The kingdom never fully recovered its administrative coherence. Coinage from this period reflects a contracting state, not a confident one.
The Ahom script used on these silver issues remained deliberately arcane to outside traders — a conscious retention of cultural distinctiveness against both Mughal commercial networks and encroaching British influence from Bengal.
