Watch List notes:

Assam, Gaurinatha Simha (1780-95), octagonal Rupee, 11.28g, Sk. 1716 with 'di' at the bottom of the reverse to the left of the lion, legends otherwise as previous lots (RB. 58.1; KM. 220), toned about very fine, rare.
Ex. Nicholas Rhodes Collection
RB believe that 'di' indicates that such coins were struck at a mint at the town of Dichoi. The letter occurs on coins of both Sk. 1716 and 1717.
