Which Tripura king first minted coins with the title 'Manikya'?

  • A.Ratna Manikya I
  • B.Dhanya Manikya
  • C.Govinda Manikya
  • D.Krishna Kishore Manikya

Answer: A

The king is Ratna Manikya I.

Ratna Manikya I, who ruled in the fifteenth century, issued the earliest known coins of Tripura bearing the royal title Manikya. From his time the Manikya kings struck coins regularly, which makes the kingdom's coinage one of the main sources for dating its rulers.

The other kings came later and so cannot have been first: Dhanya Manikya ruled around 1500, Govinda Manikya in the seventeenth century and Krishna Kishore Manikya in the nineteenth.
