RJ from Oswal |
From Oswal: The earliest minting activity on behalf of the Peshwa is
known to have been undertaken during the short and ill-fated reign of Peshwa
Narayan Rao when Dullabh Set Govindji,
a banker of Poona was given a license to operate a mint. The coins he
produced were to be rupees and mohurs, to be known as ‘Shet shahi’ coins
after his name. All coins of this early issue are very rare. They bear the RY
of the Mughal emperor, with his name spelled as ‘Shah
Alam’. The calligraphy is of a good standard and
the mint-name is inscribed as ‘Muhiyabad’ with ‘Y’
and ‘A’ of ‘-abad’ being ligated. Subsequent
issues, struck after the murder of the Peshwa in 1773 and installation of the
‘Council of Ministers’ in charge, had the name ‘Shah
Ali Gauhar’ on them. The gold ‘Shet Shahi’ mohurs
are exceedingly rare. One was offered in the ‘Skanda’ collection auction by
Spink-Taisei in 1991 and the same was listed earlier by Maheshwari and
Wiggins. Since then, no other pieces have turned up on the market in an
auction. |
