Coins in the name of Shahu Maharaj ?? #2


Coins in the name of Shahu Maharaj ??
Part 2
Here is a new blog related coins in the name of Shahu Maharaj ?. In last blog we have observed coins in the name of shau in single dandi variety, and here will have look at the coins having legend  “Saav”and “Saavaa” instead of “Shau ?”, in single line variety. Because of unusual legends we can’t attribute these coins to any particular ruler.


Ø  Shri/Raja/Saav & Chatra/Pati.





it is found that sometimes Aurangazeb have called Shahu maharaj as Saav. Coins with legend Saav are scare to get with full legend. These coins weighs in between 8-10 grams, showing legend Shree/Raja/Saav on obverse and Chatra/Pati on Reverse, sometimes “chetra” is also observed instead of “Chatra” but its seen largely on “double dandi” type coins. half units of “Saav” are also available, they weighs in between 4-7 grams.

Ø  Shri/Raja/(Saavaa or Shavaa )  & Chatra/Pati.

here is a another variety of legend “Saavaa” or “Shaavaa”. This variety of legend is rarely seen. Maximum times “vaa” of “saavaa” does not come on flan so it becomes hard to read legend correctly. On this coin Raja/Saavaa or Shaavaa can be read on obverse and chatra/pati on reverse of the coin.

I hope you are enjoying reading new information about coins !
