Description
Bombay Presidency, issue of Kolhapur, (A Maratha state between Goa nad Bombay), silver rupee, 1821, struck at Shahupur mint, rev. date 1821 with inscription, (Pr. -, KM.C.30). Very fine, very scarce.
Between 1811 and 1862 Kolhapur concluded a series of treaties and agreements with the British whereby the state came increasingly under Britishg protection and control. The mint closed in 1850. This 1821 rupee is regarded as an issue of the EIC in this transition period. It is interesting to have the date 1821 written in English.
