Krishna Manikya (SE 1682-1683 & amp; 1689-1605 / 1760-1761 & amp; 1767-1783 AD),Gold Mohur, dated Sk.1582 in error for Sk.1682, 10.62g, 25.93mm, Obv: Lion facing left, standard above, date below and to the right saka 1582, within circle and border of beaded annulets, Rev: “Siva Durga Pa/de Sri Sri Yuta/ Krishna Manikya/ Deva Sri Jahna/vi MahaDevyau”, in square with ornamented border, (RB# 250; KM. 234), Extremly Fine, Extremely Rare.After ruling for a couple of years, Indra Manikya was overthrown and replaced, in around 1746, by Vijaya Manikya II, of whom no coins are known. Tripura soon came under the domination of a Muslim rebel, Shamsher Ghazi who having made himself ruler of the plains area of Tripura, proceeded to plunder Udaipur, the capital, and then declare himself ruler of the whole state. As the people refused to acknowledge him as king, he installed Lakshmana Manikya as a puppet ruler, but afterwards apparently ruled in his own name until captured by the Nawab of Murshidabad and executed. This allowed the return of the Tripura royal family in the form of Krishna Manikya who had taken refuge in Kachar. However, the Nawab came under the control of the British, so when a revenue dispute was referred to him around 1761, the British decided use this excuse to annex Tripura. After this, control remained nominally in the hands of the Nawab who placed Balaram Manikya on the throne. He must have been ineffectual as the situation in the hills, where the capital was, remained confused, until Krishna managed to regain the throne in 1767, with the help of the British Governor of Bengal.
