Assam (Ahom Kingdom) began striking coins based on the rupee system in the 1600's. The design elements were borrowed from nearby Cooch Behar, but the octagonal shape was an invention of the Assamese. The Ahom script was used up through the reign of Gadadhara Simha, after which Sanskrit was used for most issues. Saka Era (SE) dates are 78 years earlier than current year dates in Western countries.
Shown is a quarter rupee from Lakshmi Simha with inscription in Sanskrit.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 2.68-2.90g, silver.
Catalog reference: KM#176.
