Cooch Behar, Nara Narayan – Silver, with star, Kings of Khyriem?

Stan Goron wrote: This is a tanka in the name of Nara Narayan dated Sk "147" which has at the bottom of the obverse a large six-pointed star as found on coins of Jaintiapur. RB attribute this and similar coin tentatively to the Kings of Khyriem. Khyriem was an independent kingdom, located to the west of the Jaintia Hills, about which little is known. The reason for attributing these coins to Khyriem is their similarity to the coins of Jaintiapur in both style and the inclusion of the six-pointed star, so typical of Jaintiapur coins. Moreover, the Koch chronicle recorded that, in around AD 1563, the Cooch Behar armydefeated the king of Khyriem and ordered him to strike coins in the name of Nara Narayan.

Seems to be an unrecorded type. Photo from Goron.

The vast majority of Cooch Behar tankas have a dotted border, but here is one with a scalloped border.

Cooch Behar. Here is a tanka of Prana Narayan, who reigned from AD 1633-1665. His coins have various dates on them. This one is dated Sk 1555. From Goron

 

http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/164230_412072138888635_744871676_n.jpg

This tanka of Prana Narayan is dated "140". From Goron

 

http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/59262_412074092221773_2000133537_n.jpg

here is one dated "130", though the "3" has been engraved rather like a "6". According to RB, these three-figure dates are in the Rajsaka era, though they don't explain what this is and how it relates, if at all, to the Shaka era. From Goron

Noman Nasir This is 160 RS ... The earlier reading of 130 was proven wrong later on

Noman Nasir After the article by NC Chowdhury, I have made a comprehensive analysis on dated cooch coins ..

here is a gold tanka or mohur, weighing 9.18g, of Narendra Narayan (1847-1863). Needless to say, this is very rare. There are a couple apparently in the British Museum, this coin and, I believe, one other reported so far.. From Stan Goron
