1897

Marudhar, SA, Oswal

Possibly struck for presentation purposes (i.e. nazarana).

As per the notes of Herrli, he mentions that these were struck on a broad thin flan for presentation purposes, but in the name of Ahmad Shah Durrani with the name just nabha rather than nabha kanal as on other coins of Nabha struck from AD1836 / VS1893 onwards, the year that the Nabha obverse regular coins switched from citing Ahmad Shah Durrani to Guru Gobind Shah.

Nabha changed the obverse from Ahmad Shah to Gobind Shah inAD1836/ VS1893, which was retained on all coinage until their last issues inAD 1874 /VS1931, with the exception of this one issue restoring the name of Ahmad Shah, same as other Cis-Sutlej states such as Patiala and Maler Kotla. The Sikh Empire was dissolved inAD1849 /VS1906 by the British forces, and it is conceivable that Bharpur Singhs administration felt more secure abandoning the Sikh inscription, but for reasons we have not been able to determine, restored the Sikh text later in the same year.

I’ve left this one here but it appears to be struck from the same dies as the rupee I’ve recorded as type 3 under Jaswant Singh.
