Kantirava Rulers of Mysore, 17th century, Copper, 2.42g, Obv: Elephant Rider facing right, Rev: 'Kantirava' in Kannada. Lovely grade, very rare with complete strikes. The previous ruler, Raja Wodeyar II, Kanthirava Narasaraja Wodeyar's cousin, was poisoned on the orders of his dalvoy (commander-in-chief), Vikramaraya, within a year of becoming the maharaja. [1] The 23-year-old Kanthirava Narasaraja I, who had earlier been adopted by the widow of Raja Wodeyar I, in 1638 became the new maharaja of Mysore. Before becoming the king of Mysore, he lived in Terakanambi near Gundalpet, Chamarajanagar District. Very Fine, Rare. |
