Photo from
Classical Numismatic Gallery, sale 22, lot 153, who wrote: Although
Maheshwari & Wiggins list this as a Maratha issue, it is absolutely
certain that the town and fort of Jhansi were taken over by Shuja'a ud-Daula
following the chaos after the Maratha defeat of Panipat. It was wrested back
by the Marathas in 1765. The coins struck under Awadh control are markedly
different than the Maratha issues and also include extra inscription 'Roshan
Akhtar' on reverse, of which very little is seen on this coin. |
