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><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-family:Mangal;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-tab-count:1;" lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-family:Mangal;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;" lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">In response, the son of the late <span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-family:Mangal;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-highlight:yellow;" lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">Burha Gohain,&nbsp;<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-font-family:Mangal;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;" lang="EN-US" dir="ltr">a powerful noble who had taken refuge in Guwahati, returned and assumed the position of Chief Minister.
