Nizams of Hyderabad, feudatories in Marathwada region - three copper paisas in the name of 'Gopal Rao', (c.1820-1840 AD), 6.11g., 6.51g. and 5.66g. Obv: Legend Shri Gopal partly visible. Rev: Legend Rāw repeated several times in two or three lines. (3 coins)

Very fine, Rare.

The coins in the name of Gopal Rao were listed as miscellaneous Maratha issues by M&W (T46). However, in recent years it has become evident that they were struck and circulated in the region of Southern Marathwada, which was under the Nizam's control. The identity of this 'Gopal Rao' remains elusive, but his coins have three titles - 'Punahpratapi' and 'Rao' (listed by M&W) and 'Subedar' (unlisted). The first coin in this group has 'Subedar' on reverse while the other two have the word 'Rao' inscribed repetitively.
