GWALIOR, Mahadji Rao, (A.H. 1175-1209, A.D. 1761-1794), in name of Shah Alam II (A.H. 1173-1221, A.D.1759-1806), Bhilsa (Alamgirpur) mint, silver rupee, year 8 (1769) an issue of good style, (KM.-); Daulat Rao (A.H. 1209-1243, A.D. 1794-1827) issued in name of Mohammad Akbar II (A.H.1221-1253, A.D. 1806-1837), Bhilsa mint, silver rupees, regal years 16 (1810); 17 (1811); year 19 (1813); all with obverse of characteristic symbol, (KM. 22). Fine - extremely fine, the first unpublished. (4)

Ex Stan Goron Collection with his tickets and from Robert Senior by private treaty except for first this from Spink Australia Sale 8 (lot 65 part). $$ The existance of issues by Mahadji Rao, has been postulated by Lingen and Wiggins in 'Coins of the Sindhias' 1978 (p.26), but they have not been found. This example in fine style but different in character to the latter issues which is in the name of Shah Alam II confirms the authors prediction.
