Aversbeschreibung Central field bears the royal epithet or name of the ruler Lakshmi Singha rendered in Bengali script, arranged across two registers within a plain rectangular frame. The legends are bold and deeply struck in the characteristic hammered style of the Ahom kingdom coinage, with the inscription occupying the majority of the flan. The field surrounding the central legend is flat and unadorned, with the rough irregular edge typical of hand-struck Assamese gold issues.

Reversbeschreibung The reverse displays a multiline Bengali script inscription referencing the royal house and regional designation of the Ahom kingdom, arranged in two horizontal registers across the octagonal flan. A dotted border runs along the periphery of the octagonal shape, framing the legend field. The strike is bold but somewhat uneven, consistent with the hand-hammered technique employed at the Assamese royal mint. The flat, lightly textured field bears no additional decorative elements beyond the central inscribed legends.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Lakshmi Singha ruled Ahom during a period of sustained Burmese military pressure — the Moamoria rebellion that would eventually destabilize the kingdom was still a decade away, but the court at Rangpur was already managing fractious internal politics. The small gold fractional mohurs of his reign served the needs of elite gift-giving and temple donation as much as any commercial exchange; the Ahom economy ran heavily on land and labor obligations rather than coin.

KM#184 is among the scarcer fractional gold types from the Ahom series, with surviving examples suggesting limited striking rather than heavy attrition from use.
