The inscriptions are in the Bengali character. 
Satrudaman adopted the title of Pratapa Narayana after 
defeating a force sent against him by the Ahom king Pratapa 
Simha in a.p. 1606, and the coins bearing that title were pro- 
bably minted soon afterwards: The dated coin of Jaso Nara- 
yana Deba was struck in a.p. 1583. I can find no record of a 
king bearing this title, but we have no information as to the 
was on the throne. 
The reference to the mythical descent from Ha-tsung-tsa, 
claimed by the Kachari royal family (Gait’s History of Assam, 
page 243), is interesting. Except for this allusion to a mythi- 
cal non-Hindu ancestry, the inscriptions on these Kachari coins 
resemble those on the issues of the Ahom, Koch, and Jaintia 
ings. 
The coins now described are evidently of the same series 
as the coins described by Mr. H. E. Stapleton at page 160, 
J.A.8.B., Vol. VI, No. 4; and with their aid it is not difficult to 
decipher that coin from the illustration (Plate XXIII, No. 10). 
Obv. Sri Sri Tamradhaj Narayana. 
Rev. Hara Gauri Charana parayana. 
The coin is thus of Taémradhaj, during whose reign the 
Kacharis were driven from Maibong by the Ahoms under 
Rudra Simha in 4.p. 1706.

describe with hopes that some member of the Indian Numis-
