1/4 Rupee - Vikramajit Mahendra

Orchha's coinage during this period was issued under the authority of Vikramajit Mahendra, who ruled a state whose political fortunes had been substantially diminished since the Bundela dynasty's seventeenth-century peak. By the late eighteenth century, Orchha operated under increasing Maratha pressure before the eventual imposition of British paramountcy. Local silver fractions like this quarter rupee were the workhorse of bazaar transactions in a region where full rupees rarely changed hands among ordinary traders. The C#30 attribution covers a twenty-year span, suggesting dies were reused or replaced without altering the fundamental type.
