Maratha 'Swarajya', fractional gold fanam in the name of Shivaji, struck in the southern part of his kingdom, (1676-1700 AD), 0.18g. Obv: Nagari legend in dotted border Shri / Raja / Shiva partly obliterated. Rev: Nagari legend in dotted border Chhatra / Pati.
Very fine, Extremely rare.
The southern part of Shivaji's kingdom centred on the hill fort of Gingee in Northern Tamilnadu or 'Carnatic'. Coins struck here often display a degree of crudeness in execution of Nagari letters, owing to the fact that local die-engravers were less familiar with the script.
