In the year 1812 AD, Marjit Singh, the younger brother of King Chaurajit Singh sought help from the Burmese for ensuring the acquisition of the throne of Manipur, even agreeing to vassal status. Chaurajit was compelled to flee to Kachar, and Marjit became king. Although he agreed to the vassal status, he ruled more or less independently and struck a few gold and silver coins. This coin is dated 1735 SE which corresponds to the 1813 AD so we believe that it may have been struck during the first 2 years of his reign. The rupee coins of Marjit Singh are known earlier but this is the first known coin in Quarter Rupee denomination and being offered for the first time in any auction.
