Coins of Tripura are seen so rarely that it would be great to know more about them!!

Well lets make it a quiet informative site Shastri JC. Philip Ji... As we have Girish Ji too, I don't think it would be a difficult task

When did Tripura come under British suzerainty? Any Tripuran coins issued after that date are classed as being British Commonwealth coins anyway.

Dear Shailesh ji,

if you have Tripura coins, then please make a beginning by posting their scans. Once the pictures are there, each of us can add comments and information to those pictures.

I am deficient in Tripura coins, but would definitely add info if pictures are posted.

Will confess, do not know much about Tripura coins. Was intrigued after I saw a listing for a Vikram Kishore Deb Barman Rupee on ebay last week. The link is here


Betraying my further ignorance, what language/script is on the coin?
Niraj Agarwal Comment by Niraj Agarwal on December 17, 2008 at 2:03am
It is written in Bengali Script and in Bengal Language.
