Aversbeschreibung Octagonal hammered silver flan enclosed by a beaded border running along all eight sides. The field is entirely occupied by four horizontal lines of Assamese script in bold relief, conveying the royal inscription attributing the king's lineage to Bhagadatta and proclaiming the reign of Bharatha Simha. A small decorative motif appears at the base of the inscription field. The lettering is deeply struck and dominates the entire surface with no pictorial device.

Reversbeschreibung Octagonal hammered silver flan with a continuous beaded border along all eight edges, mirroring the obverse. The entire reverse field is filled with four horizontal lines of bold Assamese script in high relief, recording the Saka era date corresponding to the regnal year of issue. Small decorative dot clusters punctuate the corners and margins of the inscription field. There is no pictorial imagery; the design is entirely epigraphic in character, consistent with the coinage tradition of the Ahom kingdom of Assam.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Bharath Singha ruled Assam during one of the most turbulent periods in the kingdom's history, with Burmese invasions progressively destabilizing the Ahom dynasty through the late eighteenth century. The years bracketing this issue saw repeated military incursions that would ultimately end with Burma's full occupation of Assam in 1821. Coins struck under Bharath Singha represent a monarchy fighting to maintain coherent administrative function under existential military pressure.

The Ahom coinage tradition required each king to strike in his own name as an assertion of sovereign legitimacy — a practice that makes reign-attributed pieces directly useful for historical chronology.
