Auction: 13019 - North East Indian Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 381

Assam, Lakshmi Simha, "country-made" Half-Rupees (10), undated, with the usual hara Gauri legends but lighter in weight than the official coins and often with more crudely engraved legends, very fine (10)

These "country-made" coins appear to be contemporary imitations of the official coins. They are usually lighter in weight than the official coins and their engraving varies quite a lot. They are apparently frequently found in hoards alongside the officially made coins. Such coins of Lakshmi Simha are illustrated and described on pages 119-120 of RB.
