Very Fine, Extremly Rare.

The initial issues of Vira Chandra Manikya, which are known with the names of two queens, were hand-struck. After the appointment of a British resident in Agartala, which had become the capital during the reign of Krishna Manikya, machine struck coins, dated in the Bengal era, and apparently stuck in the UK, were issued. It is clear, however, that these coins were not intended for circulation, as only British Indian coinage is reported to have been in use within the state. It is interesting to note that most of the silver coins of this reign were struck on the Rupee standard, though some light-weight coins are also known. Extremly rare half and double Rupees are also known.
