Maratha Confederacy, Silver 1/8th Rupee, Miraj Mint, in the name of Shah Alam II, unreported in major publications including M&W, 0.25g.
Fine, Very Rare.
The mint at Miraj was run by the Patwardhan family and produced the famous 'Ganapati' rupees. But a regular series of rupees in the name of Shah Alam II, with or without the initial 'Ga' was also issued from the mint at Miraj. The attribution of this fraction is based on similarities in the dies it shares with the regular Miraj coins.
