Coins of Rajaram Maharaj #2
In last post we have seen the information and one specimen of
Chatrapati Rajaram maharaj shivarai. Here now we are going to see more good
specimens of rajaram coins, actually till now we were having rajaram coins only
in square shape but now one specimen we got with round shape.
Here firstly we are looking at the specimen from Mr.shriharsh Waghrulkar. He have tried to make a drawing of a full legend of rajaram coin. Coin no-2
On this coin
on obverse side we are able to see shree/raja clearly but unfortunately ram is
out of flan here, but here good thing is ‘shree’ is clear on this coin which
we don’t get on the coins which comes with the word ‘ram’ on the flan, but as
the ram is not on the flan so how we can say that this is rajaram coin? Actually
we have no proof to prove that but by comparing calligraphy of rajaram coins we
can say. As per my observation, the rajaram coins which I have seen yet are
with the same reverse calligraphy, and this coin also have the same calligraphy
as other rajaram coins have, so from that we can say that this coin is of
rajaram maharaj.
This is also a good specimen of rajaram coin with somewhat
square shape, we can compare calligraphy of this specimen and a specimen we
have seen earlier with ram out of flan, especially ‘chatra’ on reverse, its
looking same. On this coin we have (Shree)/ (Ra)ja/ (Ra)m on obverse with only ‘Ja’
and ‘Ma’ on flan, and Chatra/pati on reverse side.
Now we will see the specimen from Mr.Vijay Hiran. i myself have tried to make a drawing of a full legend of rajaram coin. this coin we have seen in our last blog but their was no drawing of legend so posting it again, for information purpouses.
as we have seen earlier, On this specimen we can see “(shree)/(r)aja/(R)am" on obverse of this
coin, and “chatra/pati” on reverse within dotted border. 'shree' is out of flan here.
We have seen two new specimens of rajaram coins in this post and three specimens yet, more excellent
specimens and their information will be shared in the next post.
