Lion to left date under the lion’s tale, decorative toothed border around, Rev. Tripurendra/ Sri Sri Dhanya/ Manikya Sri Ka/mala Devyau, R&B #56, very fine+, very rare. Note: Dhanya Manikya was a prominent and powerful ruler of the Manikya dynasty in Tripura. His reign, approximately from 1490 to 1515 AD, was distinguished by significant military expansion, architectural contributions, and administrative reforms, leading many to consider him one of the dynasty's leading figures. His wife was Queen Kamala. He named a large water body, Kamalasagar, in front of a temple he constructed in her honor, and many of his coins also bore her name. Dhanya Manikya reportedly died from smallpox in 1515 AD, after which his queen performed the ritual of Sati.

Tripura Kingdom, Vijaya Manikya (SE 1454-1485, 1532-1564 AD), ‘Ardhanarishwara’ type, Citing Queen Lakshmi, Silver Tanka, 11.35 gms, SE 1482, Commoeration Issue, Obv. Ardhanarishwara composed of 2 halves, one 10 handed Goddess Durga seated on lion, another Half of 4-handed Lord Shiva seated on a bull & date below 1482, dotted borders around, Rev. Lakshya Snayi/ Sri Sri Tripura Ma/hesh Vijay Mani/kya Deva Sri Lakshmi/ Rani Devyah with scallop borders around, R&B #123, KM #67, extremely fine for the type, very clear & bold depiction of Ardhanarishwara, very rare. Note: It is very very rare to find an Ardhanarishwara type with this quality, which is centrally struck with bold and high relief on the obverse. The silver Rupee coins depicting Ardhanarishvara were issued to commemorate a sacred "Lakshya Snayi" (bather in the Lakshya) ritual bath that Vijaya Manikya performed in the River Lakhi, a tributary of the Brahmaputra. This bath occurred during a successful military raid into the Muslim territory of Bengal, making the coin a commemorative issue for both a significant military victory and an associated religious rite. The representation of the Shiva-Durga form of Ardhanarishvara likely indicated the king's personal devotion to these deities. The specific depiction, which combined the ten-handed Durga on a lion and the four-handed Shiva on a bull on a single coin face, was considered an ingenious concept and a novel contribution in the history of Indian coinage and iconography, previously unknown in the region.

Tripura, Rajadhara Manikya II (SE 1707-1728, 1785-1806 AD). Gold Mohur, SE 1707, Obv. Lion to left date in saka era below pellet in annulet borders around, Rev. siva durga pa/de sri sri yuta/rajadhara ma/nikya deva within a square & decorative borders around, Graded by PCGS as AU53, exceedingly rare & Unique.

The coin is being offered at an Indian auction for the very first time, having previously been part of Triton Sale XXII in the USA. Rajadhara Manikya II ruled the Kingdom of Tripura from 1785 until his death in 1806. He formally ascended the throne after a transitional period of regency managed by his mother, Queen Jahnavi Rani Mahadevayu, which had commenced on July 11, 1785. His reign occurred during a pivotal era when the sovereign Kingdom of Tripura had already transitioned into a princely state under British influence, having entered a subsidiary alliance in 1761. Consequently, the scope of his executive authority was that of a ruler within a princely state operating under the overarching British paramountcy, rather than that of a fully independent monarch. It is important for historical accuracy to distinguish this ruler from his namesake predecessor: Rajdhara Manikya I, who reigned significantly earlier, from approximately 1586 to 1600 CE, and notably issued coins with his queen, Satyavati Mahadevi. The two monarchs presided over the state of Tripura in distinctly different historical contexts.
