Nawabs of Arcot, Sa'adatullah Khan I (1710-1732), copper double cash in the name of Farrukhsiyar, Trichanapali /Farruknagar mint, 6.73g.
Very fine, Very rare.
The reading of the mint-name on these coins is not certain. On some, the legend appears to be 'Tirchanapali', but on others a distinct 'shosha’ is visible to the left. In terms of Farsi, orthography, all visible letters except the 'shosha' would fit both 'Tirchanapalli' and 'Farrukhnagar'.

Silver
Nizams of Hyderabad, feudatory 'Samsthana' issues, silver rupee in the name of Muhammad Shah, Gadwal mint, RY 21(?), 11.47g.
Very fine, Extremely rare.
The Samsthana of Gadwal was one of the three important Hindu feudatory states under the Nizam of Hyderabad. In early 18th century its ruler, Somashekhara Ananda Reddy or Somanadri played an important role in securing its foundations. So far, it was thought that the mint at Gadwal became active only in the reign of Shah Alam II, producing local or 'Chulnee' coins. This is first ever known coin of Gadwal in the name of Muhammad Shah, and it puts the inception of the mint almost twenty years earlier than it was previously thought.

Nizams of Hyderabad, silver 1/4th rupee of Elichpur mint in the name of Muhammad Shah(?), 2.85g.
Extremely fine, Very rare.
The mint name on this coin is remarkably fully preserved which is a very unusual and rare feature for a fractional issue. Stylistically the coin appears to be of Muhammad Shah, but Alamgir II is also a likely contender.

Silver
Maratha Confederacy, silver rupee with "Trisul" symbol, copying Arcot rupees with similar designs, Tasgaon (?) mint, in the name of Shah Alam II, RY19, unlisted in major publications 11.25g.
Extremely fine, Extremely rare.
In middle 18th century, the Marathas launched a series of campaigns to exact tributes in the "Carnatic" region. The money that flowed back into Maharashtra as a result of these consisted mainly of Arcot rupees. As such the Arcot rupee became a very popular currency in Maharashtra. Many mints struck copies with same design sometimes suitably modifying it.
A series of Arcot rupees with Trisul symbol is known from Maharashtra with mint name "Arcot". These coins are sometimes identified as "Danish" because of a debatable reference by Uno Berger Janssen. The coin offered here is a direct successor of these coins but the mint name here clearly ends in "- Ganw" (Gaon).
The find spots of all these "Trisul" marked rupees broadly overlap with territories held by the Patwardhan sardars who played a crucial role in the "Carnatic" campaigns. It is plausible that they were instrumental in the Advent and spread of the "Arcot" rupee and its derivatives in the Deccan. Tasgaon was a major Patwardhan jagir town and it is plausible that this rupee was struck there.

The coin has a symbol on reverse which bears an uncanny resemblance with the 'cobra's hood' mark seen on Maratha rupees of Pune mint.However this is entirely coincidental.
