| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing Assamese script legend reading 'Sri Chandra', rendered in the bold, angular hand characteristic of late Ahom kingdom coinage. The inscription is set within a plain octagonal flan, with the characters occupying the majority of the field. The hammered fabric produces an irregular surface with slightly uneven strike distribution typical of this series. No figurative devices are present; the design is entirely epigraphic in character. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displaying the Assamese script legend reading 'Shah', boldly struck and filling the principal area of the octagonal flan. The inscription is executed in the same angular epigraphic style as the obverse, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Ahom kingdom under Chandrakanta Singha. The plain field shows the characteristic irregular surface of a hand-struck issue, with no additional decorative elements or borders present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chandrakanta Singha's reign was violently interrupted twice — he was deposed by Burmese-backed forces, restored, then deposed again before the British finally annexed Assam in 1826. Coins struck in his name therefore span two non-consecutive periods of rule, and attribution of specific pieces to either reign remains genuinely contested among specialists. The 1⁄32 rupee denomination served the smallest transactions in a kingdom already collapsing under Burmese military pressure and internal court factionalism.
