Full Description:

Maratha Confederacy, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (1674-1680 AD), 'Swarajya', Copper Sajgani /'Shivarai' Paisa, so-called 'lifetime issue' with full dotted borders on either side, Obv: Nagari legend in three lines "Shri/Raja/Shiva or Siva", Rev: Nagari legend in two lines "Chhatra/Pati", 12.2g, 19.00mm, (KM # 41, M&W #T1), choice very fine, Rare.

Note: In this coin, the name 'Shiva' on the obverse is engraved in a strange fashion, with the first letter being a hybrid of 'S' and 'Sh'. It perhaps shows hesitation on part of the die engraver as to which form of the name he wanted to use.
