Cooch Behar Silver 1/2 Rupee Dharendra Narayan or Harendra Narayan 1773-80/ 1783-1839 **Scare** High Collectable Grade.

This rare Cooch Behar Silver 1/2 Rupee represents a fascinating chapter in Indian numismatic history, minted during the reign of either Dharendra Narayan (1773–1780) or Harendra Narayan (1783–1839). Struck in pure silver, this half-rupee exemplifies the craftsmanship of the princely state’s mint during the late 18th to early 19th century. Graded as high collectable with scarce availability, this piece showcases exceptional detail and patina consistent with authentic period coinage. Cooch Behar’s independent coinage ceased after British administration, making these issues increasingly difficult to locate. Collectors prize this denomination for its historical significance, regional provenance, and investment potential. Whether you’re building a collection of Indian princely states or focusing on early silver rupees, this well-preserved example offers both numismatic authenticity and tangible heritage value.
