Assam, Sarvvananda Simha (1793-95), in Matak, octagonal gold Half-Mohur, 5.56g, undated, Śrī Śrī/ Krishna Madhu/karasya, rev. Śrī Śrī Sa/rvvānanda Si/mha Nrpasya (RB. X2.1; KM. 313), very fine, very rare.
When Bharatha Simha was expelled from Rangpur, another Moamaria rebel, Sarvvananda Simha, set himself up as Raja of Matak, with his capital at Bengmara. Hardly anything is known about him except that he struck coins during the years Sk. 1715-1717 and appears to have handed control of the rebellion back to Bharatha as soon as the latter started striking coins again.
Estimate: £600.00 - £800.00
