Maratha Confederacy - copper 'Shivarai' Paisa, in the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji/Shahu, posthumous issue, (c. early 19th century), 9.05g. Obv: Nagari legend in three lines Shri Raja... with an extra line above 'Raja' and the word Ram before the letter 'Shri'. Rev: Nagari legend in two lines (Chhatra) Pati.

Good very fine, Very rare.

This is a highly unusual variety of the late 'Shivarai' paisas - on most coins of this kind, the word 'Ram' is written after the letter 'Shri', but here it is clearly inscribed before the letter.
