Siva Simha was succeeded by his brother, Pramatta Simha, whose initial coinage consisted of rupees in Ahom script with an invocation to the Ahom deity, Lengdon. Thereafter, the coinage reverted to the Assamese-script type exemplified by the earlier coinage of Rudra Simha, and without citing any queen. In fact, from here on, there is no further mention of any queen on the coinage.
