Śrī Śrī Yutāma/ra Mānikya De/va Śrī Amarāva/tī Mahā Devyau within square with ornamented borders (RB. 153; KM. 90), good very fine.
The coins of this ruler are relatively common for Tripura. Some of the dies used exist in a number of states with one or more dots added, while there is considerable variation in the form of the standard that issues from the lions back. It should be noted that the KM catalogues do not list these varieties separately, nor similar ones for other rulers.
Estimate: £60.00 - £80.00
