| Aversbeschreibung | Hammered silver field bearing a multi-line Bengali inscription arranged in a grid-like layout divided by horizontal and vertical lines. The legend reads 'Sri Sri Prana Narayanasya Sake' in Bengali script, identifying the issuing ruler Prana Narayana. The characters are boldly struck within compartments formed by intersecting lines, a characteristic stylistic feature of Cooch-Behar coinage of this period. The inscription is the sole decorative and identifying element, with no figurative imagery present. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Hammered silver field bearing a multi-line Bengali inscription arranged within a similar intersecting-line grid as the obverse. The legend reads 'Sri Sri Shiva Charana Kamala Madhukara Sya', a devotional epithet referencing the ruler as a bee at the lotus feet of Shiva. A distinctive horizontal line appears below 'va cha ra', terminating in a vertical stroke, serving as a characteristic element of this issue. The bold, deeply struck characters fill the compartments formed by the grid, consistent with the hand-struck technique employed at the Cooch-Behar mint during the reign of Prana Narayana. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Cooch-Behar occupied an uneasy position throughout the seventeenth century, nominally under Mughal suzerainty while maintaining its own coinage tradition — a small but pointed assertion of local dynastic authority. Prana Narayan's reign was the longest and most consequential of the Koch dynasty's later period, during which he successfully repelled a Mughal invasion in 1661 with Ahom assistance, a victory that briefly restored genuine political independence to the kingdom.
That military reversal of Mughal pressure almost certainly kept this coinage in production longer than it might otherwise have survived.
