Maratha Confederacy, Silver Rupee, Domains of the Kolhapur Chhatrapatis, Chikodi Mint, M&W misc. and unattributed T11, 11.21g.
Very Fine, Very Scarce.
Rupees of this sort are referred to as 'Shambhu-Peerkhani' rupees owing to the additional mark of a Linga on reverse. Maheshwari & Wiggins, for reasons unknown have attributed these coins to the 'miscellaneous and unattributed' category. Although 'Shambu-Peerkhani' rupees were struck at more than one mints, the attribution of this variety to Chikodi is pretty certain based on find-spot evidence. The mint was operated by a minor Desai family.
