Tukoji Rao II, Silver Presentation- Nazarana Mudra Rupee, 11.06g, SE 1788 / VS 1923, Obv: a sun-face in centre with Devnagari legend in Sanskrit language “Sri Samba Mallārayahalyā Prasādatah Shake” around followed by date in numbers, Rev: Legend “Mudra” within floral wreath; Devnagari legend in Sanskrit language “Holkara Shri Tukojindrasya Jayati Samvat” followed by date in numerals (KM# 18). Test cut on edge otherwise extremely fine, rare.
The obverse and reverse legends of this example of the unusual ‘Mudra’ coinage, instituted by Indore perhaps as an experimental machine-struck coinage, are a single sentence meaning ‘The king Tukoji Holkar is victorious with the blessings of Shiva, Malhari and Ahilya’, the last two being the founding members of the Holkar family of Indore.
