Lot: 320

Assam, Rudra Simha, octagonal Rupee, 11.27g, Sk. 1628, normal rupee legends for this ruler, but very rare date (RB. F16.1; KM. 40), toned very fine; very rare

Coins of year 1628 and 1629 are particularly rare and must have been struck in very small quantities. RB offer some possible explanation for this, which may have been to do with the military expedition against Kachar that took place at this time.
