The Orchha coinage was called Gaja Shahi because of the gaja or mace which was its symbol. Orchha, the oldest and highest ranking of all the Bundela States was founded by Rudra Pratap, a Garhwar Rajput, early in the 16th century. During the years of Mughal expansion Orchha came under the supervision of Delhi. Few years later Jujhar Singh (1626-1635) rebelled but was defeated and dispossessed. Shah Jahan installed his brother as ruler in 1641.
