Full Description: Maratha Confederacy, Kosi Mint, Silver Rupee, AH 12XX/39 RY, Mughal Issue, "Saya-e-fazle elah" Couplet, In the name of Shah Alam II, Obv: sikka zad bar haft kishwar sayaye fazle elah, hami-e-dine Mohammad Shah Alam Badshah & hijri, Rev: sana 39 julus, zarb on top and Nagari 'Shri' in between the regnal year, 10.16g, 21mm,(T.Maheshwari # T1b, JONS # 193, pg.no 21-24 article by Shailendra Bhandare), about extremely fine, Very Rare. Kosi is located in Chhata tahsil of Mathura district. Presently the town is better knows as Kosi Kalan in the Braj region. Unlike Kaman, Kosi does not have any major religious significance, but is important as a commercial center. The existence of a rupee and paisa of Kosi mint make us rethink the attribution of certain rupees which Wiggins and Maheshwari attributed to “Gokul”. |
