Jaswant Rao, Silver Nazarana Rupee, 11.23g, SE1729, Obv: Sanskrit legend “Shri / Laxmikānta Pa / dāmbhoja Bhramarāyita / Chetasa Yeshwantasya / Vikhyātā Mudraisha(m) / Prithivitale” in six lines (translation: This coin of Yashavanta, whose mind is akin to a bee residing at the feet of Lord Vishnu, is famous on the face of this Earth), Rev: Sanskrit legend “Shri / Indraprastha Sthi / to Rājā Chakravarti / Bhumandale Tatprasādā / tkritā Mudrā Lokesmin / Vaivirājate / 1729” in seven lines (translation: this coin, produced by the grace of the Universal Ruler who resides in Indraprastha (Delhi), rules the climes) (KM# 6). Extremely fine+ for type, extremely rare in this grade.
A highly unusual coin struck by Yashvant Rao Holkar in 1806 to mark the accession of Muhammad Akbar II, the Mughal emperor of Delhi when he was given the titles of Ali Jah, Zubdat ul-Umara, Bahadur ul-Mulk, Farzand-i-Arjumand, and Nusrat Jang by Akbar II. The early years of Yashwant Rao’s reign were marred by feuds with members of his own family as well as Daulat Rao Sindhia. The Sindhia’s defeat at Delhi in the second Anglo-Maratha War gave him the space for exerting his own influence, which he desperately tried to use to forge an anti-British alliance between all Maratha factions. He was however unsuccessful and died in 1811 suffering from epilepsy-related complications.
The coins he struck in Sanskrit are highly unusual for a time when nearly every coin (barring a couple of notable exceptions) were in Farsi. James Prinsep, the founding father of Indian Numismatics, took a special notice of these in his work on coins within ten years of their issue.
