1/2 Rupee - Narendra Narayan

Narendra Narayan ruled Cooch-Behar as a minor for much of this period, with the state under the superintendence of the East India Company. The coins struck in his name during these years reflect that ambiguous sovereignty — nominally a princely issue, but produced within a framework of Company oversight that was tightening its grip on the smaller hill kingdoms of Bengal's northern frontier throughout the 1840s.

Cooch-Behar's coinage was never minted in large volume, and the kingdom would eventually abandon independent silver issues altogether as Company and later Crown currency displaced local types.
