Very Fine, Very Rare.
M&W list only one type of copper coins for Sambhaji where the obverse legend is arranged in the 'normal' way with each word appearing in a separate line. The legend on this coin splits the words rather clumsily into groups of two, two and one letters respectively. It also has the name of the ruler spelled as संभुinstead of the usual शंभु On the reverse, there are clear signs of the die being weak or the coin being counterstruck on an undertype.
