| Additional information |
The Mlechchha kings of early medieval Assam—successors to the Varman dynasty—remain poorly documented in both literary and archaeological sources, making their coinage among the most understudied in the Indian subcontract. Vanamalavarman ruled during a period when the Kamarupa kingdom was fragmenting under pressure from the Pala expansion to the west, and coinage from his reign is rare enough that die linkages across known specimens have never been systematically published.
Mitchiner's attribution to #100-101 places this squarely in a group identified largely through hoard evidence from the Brahmaputra valley.
