Comments
Coins of this ruler are rarely available and were probably issued in very limited quantities. This rupee was struck in the month of Vaisakh (the second month of the Hindu calendar) Sk. 1678 (AD 1756) most likely on the occasion of the installation of the king. It was during this reign that Manipur first made contact with the British, due to the threat from the Burmese.
