Gwalior, Silver Rupee struck under the authority of Jean-Baptiste Filose, in the name of Muhammad Akbar II, 'cannon' and 'St Stephen's Cross' on obverse, RY7, with pseudo-mint name 'Sawai Jaipur', 10.87g.
Fine, Rare.
This variety of rupee did not feature in the article “Making the Most in Troubled Times: Jean-Baptiste Filose and his Coinage” by Shailendra Bhandare. It is very likely to have been struck at Unniara, a thikana of Jaipur, which came under Filose's attack during his
campaign against Rajput chiefs located towards the northern borders of his own jagir of Sheopur Kalan. The general style of the coin is comparable to the issues of Karauli which also used the mint-name 'Sawai Jaipur'.
