One of the most glamorous Maratha coin, popularly known as the 'Ganapati-Pantapradhan rupee', was struck by the Patwardhans of Miraj to indicate their loyalty to the Peshwa by explicitly mentioning the Marathi version of his title on it. It is likely to have been struck when the Patwardhans were drawn into a conflict with the Chhatrapatis of Kolhapur during the late 18th century - the date is most probably in the Fasli Era, corresponds to 1792 AD.
