1/2 Rupee 1769-1780 Ahom Kingdom (real this time)

Here is a really neat octagonal 1/2 rupee. It's from the (India) Ahom Kingdom of Assam struck during the reign of Raja Lakshmi Simha sometime between 1769 and 1780. This coin weighs 5.6 grams.

Ben,that is a nice coin.The Ahom Kingdom of Assam actually disappeared before the British arrived in that part of India,therefore these coins are not really of interest to me.Only coins issued by Indian Princely States after coming under British protection & suzerainty are of interest to me.They're genuine British Commonwealth issues as of right.

Thank you Aidan. I'm getting better with the PhotoShop program I recently installed

Ben,do you save your photos directly onto your computer instead of saving them in a website such as Photo Bucket or Image Shack?

Eventually,I will have to get that programme,but after getting a laptop computer first.

No, I save them onto our businesses web-site.

 

Nice addition you have there Ben

Thanks buddy, it was amazingly inexpensive as well. Just a few dollars. There are still some deals to be had off the beaten path
