Note:&nbsp;Struck during a turbulent chapter of Ahom history, this rupee belongs to the brief rule of Brajnatha Simha,&nbsp;great-grandson of Rajeswar Simha. After the death of Kamaleswar Simha&nbsp;in 1810, his brother Chandrakanta Simha&nbsp;ascended the throne, but his first reign (1810–1817) saw no coinage. In 1816, the disgraced Bar Phukan invited the Burmese into Assam, briefly seizing power before being assassinated.<o:p></o:p>In response, the son of the late Burha Gohain,&nbsp;a powerful noble who had taken refuge in Guwahati, returned and assumed the position of Chief Minister. Disillusioned with Chandrakanta’s&nbsp;rule, he supported Brajnatha Simha’s&nbsp;claim to power. Though Brajnatha was never formally crowned due to a disfigurement (a mutilated ear), coins were nonetheless struck in his name, marking his effective rule. His son, Purandara Simha,&nbsp;was ceremonially crowned, but exercised no real authority.<o:p></o:p>
