A coin of this type is known so far only from a solitary specimen in the British Museum collection. Senior lists it as 'Uncertain', and places it between Gondophares and Abdagases. On this coin, however, the name of the king appears to be 'Sasan', visible partly under the king's feet on obverse. The obverse depiction bears similarity to silver issues of Azilises, (Senior 30.1T) and the reverse is similar to a god who looks like the Hermes who appears on the back of copper coins of Azes (Senior 107). On this coin, the figure appears to have a veil over its head so it might be of a goddess.

This is an extremely rare and enigmatic coin of the later Gupta rulers, possibly of an unnamed successor of Skanda Gupta. Only a couple other specimens are known. Similar coins was earlier attributed to Puru Gupta and Budha Gupta, but they have a different appellation or Biruda on the reverse. The attribution of coins with Shri Vikrama on the reverse was made by Allan but later struck down by most other scholars. Here the name of the ruler, at least in parts, appears to have been Parakramaditya and his appellation is Parakrama as evident from the reverse legend. The Gupta affiliation of this enigmatic king is certain from the 'Garuda' standard on the obverse, but we do not know of a Gupta ruler who sported such a name or appellation from any other source. The coin is therefore a significant tool for reconstructing late Gupta history.

‘Aurangnagar’ was the name given by Aurangzeb to the town of Mulher with its adjoining hill fort, presently located in Nashik district of Maharashtra, which was the capital of the small Rajput kingdom of Baglana, strategically located on the trade route between Surat and the Deccan. Aurangzeb, while in office as the viceroy of Deccan under his father the Emperor Shahjahan aggressively pursued a campaign against the rebellion of Shahaji Bhonsle who had resurrected the Deccani Sultanate of Nizamshahi by elevating a boy prince to the throne to create a bulwark against Mughal expansion. In late 1637, the Mughal armies attacked Baglana with a view to separate the state from attempts of Shahaji to form an anti-Mughal alliance. Bahirji, the king of Baglana was defeated and the kingdom was annexed to the Mughal province of Khandesh. The conquest was complete with Bahirji accepting Mughal sovereignty in March 1638, and agreeing to convert to Islam.

451. Shah Alam II (1760-1806 AD), Silver ½ Rupee, Shahjahanabad Mint, RY Ahd, with a peculiar 'Scissor' mark on obverse. Very Fine, Very Rare. Sold for : ̀ ......................... Estimate : ` 30,000 - 40,000

RY Ahd corresponds to 1759-1760, counting from the assassination of Alamgir II and the subsequent proclamation by Shah Alam II as the new king, notwithstanding the fact that the Wazir who murdered Alamgir had installed Shah Jahan III on the throne. The year 1760 was of a political upheaval in Delhi. It saw the city being occupied twice, first by the Durranis and then by the Marathas, who deposed Shah Jahan III in October to declare Shah Alam II as the legitimate ruler. But soon afterwards they left Delhi to seek finances and were defeated by the Afghans at Panipat in January 1761. This coin dates to this tumultuous period, and it is not certain who might have issued it. However, it does not appear to be an issue of the imperial mint of Shahjahanabad, which was in Maratha hands till their eventual retreat from Delhi in late January 1761.

th452. Shah Alam II (1760-1806 AD), unattributed late 18 century Copper Takka, 12.54g. RY 45, marks of dagger and flag on the reverse. Very Fine+, Very Rare. Sold for : ̀ ......................... Estimate : ` 5,000 - 6,000

The mint-name on this coin is yet unread satisfactorily, but is composed of a joint name one of which ends in '-Garh'. Stylistically, it appears to be a coin of Northern Doaba / Uttaranchal region, probably struck as a product of a local mint flourishing with import trade in Nepalese copper.

Nadir Shah invaded India in AH 1151 and defeated the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah and captured Delhi which was formerly known as Shahjahanabad. Nadir Shah held the city for few months, then returned it to Muhammad Shah in AH 1152 in exchange of vast booty including famed treasures like the Kohinoor diamond and the 'Peacock Throne'.

Jansen produced evidence from Danish records that the mint at Tranquebar was active in producing 'Arcot' rupees in the date run seen on these rupees. He therefore listed the issue as an 'Indo-Danish' rupee. However, the provenance patterns of coins of this type indicate that it was current in Southern Deccan an area far away from Tamil Nadu and the general style of execution is also not similar to 'Arcot' rupees of the Coromandel Coast. It is possible that this is a Maratha issue with pseudo-mint name 'Arkat'.

The mint at Miraj was run by the Patwardhan family and produced the famous 'Ganapati' rupees.

The attribution of this fraction is based on similarities in the dies it shares with the regular Miraj coins.

This handsome coin is one of the earliest issues in the name of the Queen Victoria struck by a princely state. The date 1858AD is important here - it was the year in which the Great Indian Revolt saw its slow extinguishing and many princes came out in open support of the British government. Bharatpur was one of the first to show these tendencies - it is likely that coins with the Queen's effigy were struck immediately after the 'Queen's Proclamation' issued on 1 November 1858 which effectively ended the rule of the East India Company and made the Queen the sovereign head of state of India. The curious title "upholder of the trust of English government" is suggestive of the role played by the Maharaja by siding with the British during the Revolt.

Alberto Gomes, in his book 'Moedas Portuguesas' illustrates a Spanish 'Pillar' 8-Real coin - popularly called as 'Spanish Dollar' - which is counter struck with a similar mark (Gomes 70.01). A counter struck 'Maria Theresa Dollar' is mentioned by Gomes but he does not illustrate it. While Gomes remarks that the style of the crest is 'similar to the coins of Malacca', on the coin offered here it looks very close to the one encountered on late 18th century Indo-Portuguese copper coins of Diu. The 'Maria Theresa Dollar' was a popular trade coin in the Arabian Peninsula, an area which has had long trading links with Gujarat. It is therefore possible that this coin arrived in Gujarat via Arabia and then was countermarked by the Portuguese in Diu, with a view to make it into a 'Dollar' of their own to facilitate trade further east.

A similar coin was sold at Baldwin's Auctions Ltd, the New York Sale XVII (9 Jan 2008), lot 897, estimated at US$2000 and sold for US$ 3500.
