Auction: 13019 - North East Indian Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 290

Assam, Mlechcha dynasty, uniface AE Coin, 1.34g, 24mm, with letter "ga" on one side, the other side blank, very fine, part of coin missing at top, rare

These light-weight coins have been found in the same hoards as the other Mlechcha copper coin and, thus, belong to the same period. There is, however, no known king of the time whose name begins with "ga", so RB believe the letter could stand for the coin denomination of a Gan?da, which was equal to 4 cowries.
