Sikh Empire, Ranjit Singh (VS 1856-1896 /1799-1839 AD), Sri Amritsar Mint, Silver Rupee, 'Ber Shahi', VS 1861?/1804 AD, 'Nanak Shahi' Couplet, Obv: Persian legend "Sikka zad bar har do Alam Fazal-e-sachha sahib ast, Fateh tegh-i-guru Gobind Singh Shah Nanak Wahab ast", (The coin struck through each of the two worlds by the grace of the true Lord. Of the victory gained by the sword of Guru Gobind Singh Shah Nanak is the provider), Rev: Persian legend "zarb Sri Amritsar jiyo, maimanat manus, bakht Akal Takht", (Struck at Illustrious Amritsar under the prosperous rule of the fortunate Akal Takht) with Ber (Zizyphus Jujuba) symbol, 10.93g, 22.42mm, (KM # 20.4 /Gurprit # 1.29.01), no test mark, tiny gash on the edge, about very fine, Extremely Rare.
Note: During the 1861st year of the Vikram Samvat, the leaf motif was replaced by a sprig or multiple leaves, which were mistakenly believed to be the tail of a peacock. It was incorrectly assumed that these coins were issued in the name of "Moran", a courtesan, and were therefore incorrectly referred to as "Morashahi" coins. An article published in the JONS (Journal of Oriental Numismatic Society) established that the symbol on these coins is not related to Moran and is rather a sprig of a fruit known as Ber (Zizyphus Jujuba). The term “Ber Shahi” will now be used for coins with the sprig-like or multi-leaf symbol as a result of this new development. The Ber Shahi was presumed to have entered circulation in VS 1862, thus making a Ber Shahi from VS 1861 extremely rare.
