| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylised mythological lion or leonine creature rendered in indigenous Bengali artistic tradition, facing left in a heraldic posture with a dotted roundel at its chest. The beast is surrounded by a decorative inner border of petal or lotus motifs forming a floral wreath, itself enclosed by a beaded outer border. Bengali script legends appear in the lower field around the creature. The overall design reflects the syncretic Vaishnavite iconographic tradition of the Tripura princely court. |

Krishna Kishora Manikya ruled Tripura from 1830 to 1849 under the suzerainty of the East India Company, and this mohur belongs to his earliest regal issues. The Manikya dynasty had minted coins continuously for centuries — one of the few hill kingdoms in northeastern India that maintained its own currency tradition well into the colonial period, partly because Tripura's difficult terrain kept it administratively peripheral long after neighboring princely states had ceded monetary authority.
At 11.58g the weight closely follows the Mughal mohur standard, a deliberate alignment that kept Tripuran gold acceptable in regional trade markets.
