Very Fine.

Lakshmi Narayan was the son of Nara Narayan. He was rather a weak ruler who, around 1596, declared himself a vassal of the Mughals, much to the disgust of his subjects. This led to unrest in the state; he went to the Mughal governer in Dacca, where he was detained for 4 years. His coins follow the patern of his father, except that far more Half-Tankas were struck. The present coin has CB98 = AD 1608 and probably represents the actual date of issue of this type, the other date remaining as the accession date. The Significance of the date is not known.
