| Additional information |
The Jaintia Kingdom, occupying the hills of what is now Meghalaya, operated as a largely independent polity well into the eighteenth century despite sustained Mughal pressure on the surrounding plains. Its coinage drew formally on Mughal weight standards while remaining entirely outside the imperial mint system. KM#160 is among the documented issues attributed to the reign of Jaya Narayan, one of the later Jaintia rajas, and survivors are genuinely scarce — the kingdom's output was never high-volume, and the region's humidity has not been kind to silver.
