| Beschrijving keerzijde | Octagonal hammered silver reverse entirely filled by a four-line devotional legend in Assamese script, arranged horizontally across the field. The inscription reads 'Sri Sri Hara Gauri Charana Kamala Makaranda Madhukara Sya,' a Sanskrit-derived devotional phrase meaning 'the bee that drinks the honey from the lotus feet of Sri Sri Hara and Gauri (Shiva and Parvati),' reflecting the Shaivite religious devotion of the Ahom kings. The field is plain and unadorned beyond the inscription, with a prominent raised pellet border encircling all eight sides of the flan. The bold, deeply cut Assamese characters fill the available space in a compact, densely arranged layout. The hammered technique imparts a characteristic handcrafted quality to the strike. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rajeswar Singha ruled Ahom at its political peak, successfully repelling the last major Mughal incursion into Assam in 1682 — a victory that allowed the kingdom to mint coinage on its own terms for the better part of a century. His reign saw the Ahom state consolidate control over the Brahmaputra valley, and the silver rupee issued under his authority reflects a treasury confident enough to strike to near-Mughal weight standards without political deference to Delhi or Calcutta.
The Ahom coinage tradition was cyclical rather than continuous; issues tend to cluster around specific reigns rather than flowing as a steady series.
