Copper
Maratha Confederacy, Copper Paisa attributed to Bhonslas of Nagpur, Kulkarni type 77, showing the face of a deity on obverse amidst largely illegible legends, 9.44g.
Very Fine, Very Scarce.
Although this type has been conventionally attributed to the Bhonslas of Nagpur, the iconography of the symbol on obverse suggests it to be a representation of Renuka, the mother goddess whose shrine is at Mahur in South Marathwada. Mahur was also a town of an eminent Jagirdar family which served under the Nizams.
