Assam, Pramatta Simha (1744-51), octagonal Rupees (4), Assamese script, Sk. 1667, 1668, 1669 (2), Śrī Śrī Hara/ Gaurī Charana/ Kamala Madhu/karasya, rev. Śrī Śrī Svarga/Deva Pramatta/ Simha Nrpasya/ Śāke [date], lion below, running left (RB. N8, N9, N10.2, N10.4; KM. 122), very fine (4).
Śiva Simha was succeeded by his brother, Pramatta Simha, whose initial coinage consisted of rupees in Ahom script (see first Rhodes auction lot 345). Thereafter, the coinage reverted to the Assamese-script type exemplified by the earlier coinage of Rudra Simha, without citing any queen. In fact, from here on, there is no further mention of any queen on the coinage.
Estimate: £80.00 - £100.00
