| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a five-line devotional and royal inscription in Bengali script, filling the entire field in a dense and interlocking calligraphic arrangement. The legend reads an invocation to Shiva and Durga followed by the titles and names of the issuing rulers, Krishna Manikya Deva and his queen Jahnavi Maha Devi. Foliate scrollwork ornaments appear at the margins, consistent with the decorative vocabulary of Tripura hammered issues. The inscription is rendered in the angular Bengali script style characteristic of eighteenth-century Manikya dynastic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Krishna Manikya ruled Tripura in the mid-eighteenth century and is remembered as one of the state's more culturally significant rulers, a patron of literature who commissioned a Bengali translation of the Mahabharata. The joint naming of a coin issue for both the king and his queen, Jahnavi, is unusual for the period and region — co-regnant or consort attributions on Tripuri coinage are rare enough that the circumstance behind this pairing remains imperfectly documented in the numismatic literature.
KM#228 is among the heavier tanka issues of the northeastern princely states, reflecting Bengal-influenced weight standards rather than Mughal ones.
