Hindu Coins of Medieval India
Auction Date: 14-08-2011
Gold
Tanjore (Nayakas or Maratha rulers,18th Century), Gold Fanam, 0.4g, Obv. Mythical lion facing right. Rev. legend in four medieval nagari letters 'Sri Sarabha' one each placed in quadrants formed by a double lined cross. Coins of this type have been attributed to Sarabhoji, the Maratha ruler of Tanjore (1712-1728). However, the style of letters is distinctly earlier than this date. It is therefore not certain if the legend rafers to Sarabhoji, the king. 'Sarabha' also means a mythical lion and thus it may even refers the obv. depiction.
Extremely Fine, Very Rare.
