Kakatiyas of Warrangal, Prola-I (1052-1076 CE), Gold PMC, 2 ½ Gold Gadyana, 9.96 gms, The Obverse consists of total of 30 repousse punches hammered on the obverse of a thin pure gold circular flan. The central punch consists of the images of Krishna and Balarama, Holy cow above and Conch below adorns the middle field that separates the brothers. The other punches are struck in two concentric circular orbits. The inner orbit consists of 13 singly struck Lion punches, with Lion facing right with lifted forepaw. The second and outmost orbit consists of 4x 'boar-Lotus-boar' punches on four quadrants. Here the boar is shown facing right with Sun and Moon symbols above. Other Kannada legend punches that separate the symbol punches are 2x Sri-Sri, 1x 'mandala' and 1x 'manda'. Almost Uncirculated, Exceedingly rare.The 'mandala manda' is perhaps a title that needs detailed research. No epigraphs have ever come across that mentions such a title but there are known many small PMC 1 Gadyanas with a similar legend in which Yama adorns the central punch. All the known big coins are generally assigned to the powerful Kakatiya ruler Prola-I (1052-1076 CE) due to his titles seen in those coins. And this being found together with the others is not an exception for the said attribution. The central motif has a resemblance to the Krishna-Subhadra Balaram idols of Jagannath temple of Puri. The legend mandala refers to district or town whereas the other punch 'manda' is similar in appearance as that of 3.8gm coin with the legend punch manda of 'manda-lika'.

Uncirculated, extremely rare.The 'Govara singha' title has appeared for the first time and on the Kakatiya coin. So far, 2-warrior and 4-warrior types were known, and this is a bridging coin of the series and is an interesting addition to one's collection. The above coin is assigned to Prola-I (1052-1076 CE) as the other warrior types were formally assigned to Prola-I. The 'Govara singha' title simply means - the King, the lion, the protector of the cows.

Nawab of Bengal, IItimad Ud-Daula Mir Qasim issue, Silver ⅛ Rupee (2 Anna), 1.41g, Munger Mint, RY 4, Uncirculated, Unique (only pc known), The Specimen offered here is listed in Zeno by Lingen, Paul Stevens has recognised and listed the coin under munger, CAT No. BE 160E. Historically important coin.The Nawab of Bengal, Itimad Ud-Daula Mir Qasim (1760-1763) shifted his capital from Murshidabad to Munger in June,1762 (1175 AH). After a year's reign he was removed as the Nawab by the East India Company in July 1763(1176 AH). During this period , Mir Qasim glorified the Munger city and established a mint there and issued coins. Interestingly this fraction is minted from a Nazrana die which is entirely different from conventional Munger rupees bearing the Sun symbol, Instead this has a five dot rosette symbol on the obverse side. As we get conventional Sun Siccas in the Hizri year 1177 AH from Munger mint, so it must be issued by the company. This new design was introduced by the Nawab probably to differentiate from normal sun siccas of other Bengal mints which were mainly controlled by the company to depreciate their values in ‘Battas’, which was one of the main reason behind the war between Nawab and company. Either this Nazrana die was not circulated due to the pressure of the company or withdrawn after the fall of Mir Qasim.
