Description
Own a powerful symbol of Indian sovereignty with this Shivrai copper paisa — first minted in June 1674 under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, founder of the Maratha Empire, to establish an independent currency system free from Mughal domination. The obverse bears the inscription “Shri / Raja / Shiv” in Devanagari script across three lines, while the reverse carries “Chhatra / Pati” in two lines — together affirming Maratha sovereignty and royal authority. These coins remained in circulation from 1674 until the late 1890s, primarily across the western region of modern-day Maharashtra. A historically rich and culturally significant artefact, perfect for collectors and admirers of Maratha heritage and the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
