| Beschrijving voorzijde | The octagonal hammered gold field is entirely occupied by a multi-line inscription in Assamese script, arranged in three horizontal registers separated by engraved lines. The bold, deeply struck legends fill the flan to its clipped edges, with no figurative design elements; the inscriptional content records the royal titulature and regnal information of the issuing Ahom king in the traditional epigraphic style characteristic of the Ahom coinage of Assam. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaurinath Singha ruled Assam as an Ahom king during a period of acute external pressure — the Moamoria rebellion had already destabilized the kingdom through much of the 1780s, and Burmese incursions were accelerating toward the eventual occupation of 1817. That this gold mohur was struck at all reflects the Ahom court's insistence on maintaining royal prerogative even as central authority was fracturing.
The Ahom monetary tradition borrowed the mohur denomination from Mughal convention but retained distinctly local iconographic and epigraphic choices. KM#231 is among the final issues of a functioning independent Ahom mint before Burmese domination ended coin production under indigenous authority.
