Very Fine, Rare.
Chakradhvaj Simha succeeded his father soon after the Mughal invasion, and made sure his name was inscribed on the coinage. The coins come in two main categories : those in Assamese script with his Hindu name, and those in Ahom script with his Ahom name. The former all have the fixed date SE. 1585, while the latter are dated to the 15th year of the 60 year cycle (AD 1663). The coins of this reign continue to maintain their octagonal shape but a couple of round rupees are also known.
