| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents an entirely epigraphic design with no figural elements, characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Koch kingdom. The field is occupied by a four-line Bengali script legend arranged horizontally across the flan, reading 'Shri Shri / Shiva Charana / Kamala Madhu / Karasya,' invoking the lotus-feet of Shiva. The irregular, slightly concave flan and bold, deeply struck characters reflect the hand-hammered production technique typical of sixteenth-century Indian princely coinage. A plain raised rim partially borders the coin, showing the characteristic irregularity of the struck flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nara Narayan ruled Cooch Behar at its peak — his reign saw the Koch kingdom expand aggressively across the Bengal-Assam frontier, and he is remembered as much for his patronage of Vaishnavite culture as for his military campaigns alongside his brother Chilarai. Coins issued under his authority are among the earliest attributable to the Koch dynasty with any confidence.
KM#35 is frequently misdated in older references. The assigned date reflects regnal attribution rather than a struck date in any Western sense, as the chronology of early Koch coinage remains contested among specialists.
