| Gwalior, Silver Rupee, 10.64g, Daulat Rao Sindhia (AH 1209-1243/1794-1827 AD), Musagarh Mint, AH 1230, mint name at top of reverse, battle axe as mint mark. According to Shailendra Bhandare: "Finally, it is worth mentioning that the name 'Musagarh' is actually a pun - as companion to 'Isagarh', or 'Fort of Jesus,' it could be a reference to 'Fort of Moses', but 'Musa' was also the Indian version of the French honorific 'monsieur', so it could equally stand for 'Fort of the Monsieur', an indirect reference to [Jean Baptiste] Filose himself. Perhaps the poetic side of Filose is well brought out by this innovative place name!". KM unlisted, Very Fine. Very Rare. |
