Auction: 13019 - North East Indian Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 422

Assam, Gaurinatha Simha, octagonal Quarter-Rupees (3), Sk. 1717 with "di" below, Sk. 1717 with "ra" at the bottom of the obverse and "16" at the bottom of the reverse, Sk. 1717 with "16" at the bottom of the reverse with "pa" to the right of it, legends otherwise as previous lots (RB. R117.1, R120.1, R123.1; KM. 202, -), very fine, rare (3)

The "di" is believed to represent a mint at Dichoi, the "ra" possibly for Rangpur, but unlikely as this town was surrendered to the Moamarias soon after Gaurinatha's re-installation ceremony in Sk. 1716. The "pa" remains unexplained but, again, could well refer to a mint at another as yet unidentified town.
