Assam, Siva Simha/Sutanpha (SE 1636-1666, 1714-1744 AD), citing Queen Sarvvesvari(SE 1661-1666, 1739-1744 AD), Gold 1/4 Mohur, RY 30, Obv. Sri Sri Si/va Simha Na/resvara, Rev. Tadvalla/bha Sri Sarvve/Svari nam/30, graded by PCGS as AU55, Unlisted in all major catalogues, exceedingly rare.
Note: This extraordinary quality Gold Fraction is the second known of its kind & only specimen in private hands, being offered for the first time in any auction globally, marking a rare chance for North East coinage's collectors.
Following the deaths of Siva Simha's previous Queens, Phuleswari and Ambika (who also held the title of Bar Raja or chief king), Siva Simha’s third wife, Enadari, assumed the name of Sarvvesvari on becoming ‘Bar Raja’, The title of 'Bar Raja' meant the queen directly governed the kingdom, a unique arrangement in Ahom history implemented to potentially avert a prediction of Siva Simha's reign ending prematurely. She was known for her patronage of music, weaving, and literature. Sarvvesvari played a part in a unique period of Ahom history where queens held significant governing power, overseeing economic and cultural aspects of the kingdom, even establishing educational initiatives for girls.
