Ratna Pha then took the title of Manikya and it was he who introduced the coinage system in his territory, thereby initiating the numismatic history of Tripura.
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.

Dear Girsih Ji,
A nice ardha narishwara type coin of Vijaya Manikya... Both the image looks same coin but the later one seem to have mirror reverse!! Is it a mirror coin of the image has been flipped ???

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?

It is written in Bengali Script and in Bengal Language.
