| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal hammered silver flan with a continuous border of raised pellets running along all eight sides. The field is occupied by a three-line Assamese inscription in bold raised characters, reading 'শ্রী শ্রী / লক্ষ্মী সিংহ / নৃপস্য', denoting the royal title and name of King Lakshmi Singha. The lettering is arranged in three horizontal registers filling the entire field, executed in the characteristic script of the Ahom kingdom coinage. The overall style is consistent with the hammered epigraphic tradition of Assamese regal coinage of the eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lakshmi Singha ruled the Ahom Kingdom of Assam from 1769 to 1780, a reign marked by the devastating Moamoria Rebellion — a prolonged Vaishnava peasant uprising that nearly destroyed the kingdom and forced the king to flee Rangpur twice. Coinage from this period was issued under extraordinary political pressure, with the Ahom state simultaneously fighting insurgents and managing Burmese encroachment on its eastern borders.
Ahom silver issues of this era are notoriously difficult to attribute precisely because die cutting was inconsistent across minting episodes tied to specific military or ceremonial needs rather than regular production cycles.
