Copper
Maratha Kingdom, 'Swarajya' phase - copper Shivarai in the name of Rajaram (1689-1700 AD), struck in Maharashtra / Deccan as per fabric and weight, M&W T1, 9.16g. Obv: Nagari legend in two lines ...Raja Rama. Rev: Nagari legend Chhatra / Pati in two lines.
Very fine, Very rare.
Copper coins of Rajaram of the 'Deccan fabric' are exceedingly rare, because soon after his accession his capital Raigad was besieged by the Mughals and he had to escape to Gingee in Tamilnadu, where he set up his government in exile. He returned to Maharashtra almost twelve years later but died soon afterwards. Thus, both his tenures in Maharashtra were of a short duration. This is plausibly the reason behind the rarity of his issues.

Very fine, Rare.
Rajaram II was chosen as an adoptive heir to Shahu when the latter died in 1749. Also known as 'Ram Raja', he was a weak ruler and coins in his name are exceedingly rare. Soon after his accession the ruling power of the Bhonsle house of Satara was grabbed de facto by the Peshwa, making the Chhatrapati a nominal head of the confederacy with no real authority.
