Maratha Confederacy, silver rupee, domains of the Kolhapur Chhatrapatis, Chikodi mint, M&W listed under misc. and unattributed T11, 11.21g.
Good very fine, Very scarce.
Rupees of this sort are referred to as 'Shambhu-Peerkhani' rupees owing to the additional mark of a Linga on reverse. Maheshwari & Wiggins, for reasons unknown have attributed these coins to the 'miscellaneous and unattributed' category. Although 'Shambu-Peerkhani’ rupees were struck at more than one mints, the attribution of this variety to Chikodi is pretty certain based on find-spot evidence. The mint was operated by a minor Desai family.

Silver
Mysore, Haidar Ali (AH 1174-1197/1761-1782 AD), Arkat Mint, silver 1/8 rupee, in the name of Shah Alam II, AH1195/RY17, unpublished in major sources, 1.48g. Obv: Farsi legend Badshah Ghazi with Hijri year 1195. Rev: Farsi legend Zarb Arkat with initial 'He'.
Extremely fine, Exceedingly rare.
This extremely rare coin was most likely struck during the second Anglo-Mysore War, when Haider Ali, being friends with the French, invaded the Carnatic region, in retaliation to the British occupation of the French port of Mahé on the Malabar Coast. Haider occupied Arcot on 3rd November 1780 and conducted attacks on various British possessions from his base there. He died suddenly in 1782 and the War ended two years later in 1784 with the treaty of Mangalore.
The AH/RY combination on the coin is curious - while AH 1195 corresponds to 1781AD and falls perfectly well in the period of Haider's occupation of Arcot, RY17 does not match with this. It is certainly not the RY of Shah Alam II. It is most likely counted from the establishment of Haider as the sole ruler of Mysore from 1764 after he defeated the Khanderao, the Dalwayi, and the appointee of the Queen of Mysore.
The denomination of the coin makes it unique. It is likely to have been specially struck, probably as a Nisar as it lacks the usual words 'Julus' etc. on the reverse. The letter 'He' also occurs on extremely rare rupees of Arkat mint struck in AH1196, but with the same RY.
