Beschrijving voorzijde Hammered silver flan bearing three horizontal lines of Persian nastaliq script occupying the full field, divided by two raised linear registers. The uppermost register contains the opening invocation, the central band bears the imperial Mughal title and epithet of Aurangzeb (Alamgir), and the lower segment carries a partial regnal legend. The inscription is struck in the name of the Mughal emperor as was customary for Maratha-issued rupees of this period, asserting monetary legitimacy through the use of established imperial formulae. The coin exhibits typical characteristics of hammered Maratha coinage, with irregular flan edges and bold, deeply impressed lettering in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

Kanoji Angre was the Maratha Confederacy's most formidable naval commander — so effective that the combined fleets of the English, Dutch, and Portuguese repeatedly failed to dislodge him from the Konkan coast. This rupee dates to the height of his dominance, when Angre controlled virtually every significant harbor between Bombay and Goa and extracted tribute from European trading vessels with near-impunity. The Sangameshwar mint operated under his direct authority, one of several coastal minting operations that funded his fleet rather than the Peshwa's treasury.

His death in 1729 fragmented that naval power among quarreling sons, none of whom matched him.
