| Aanvullende informatie |
The Kingdom of Assam's coinage in its final decades reflects a dynasty under siege. By 1817–1818, the Ahom kingdom had been repeatedly destabilized by Burmese invasions and internal succession struggles — the so-called "Era of Seven Kings" had seen rulers deposed and installed in rapid succession throughout the early nineteenth century. Brajanath Gohain served as a Burmese-backed regent rather than a sovereign in any conventional sense, making his coinage politically anomalous.
The Burmese occupied Assam outright in 1821, and British annexation followed in 1826 under the Treaty of Yandabo. Mohurs attributable to this regency period represent some of the last indigenous gold struck before the region passed permanently out of Ahom control.
