| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a multi-line Devanagari legend in a square cartouche, conveying the royal titles and epithets of the ruler Bar Gosain II along with invocatory phrases. The inscription is arranged in three or four horizontal registers within the cartouche. A beaded inner border encircles the central design, itself surrounded by a raised outer rim with a dotted or granular border. The overall style is characteristic of hammered coinage produced in the hill kingdoms of northeastern India. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Jaintia Kingdom, occupying the hills straddling present-day Meghalaya and Assam, maintained its own silver coinage well into the eighteenth century despite sustained Mughal pressure on the surrounding lowland polities. Bar Gosain II ruled during a period when Jaintia kings bore the title "Gosain" — a term with Vaishnava devotional overtones that reflected the syncretic religious identity of the court. The kingdom would not fall under British administration until 1835, making this issue roughly a century removed from annexation.
