ex Imperial Auctions, Auction 10, 6 January 2018, lot 372:
Maratha Confederacy, Tarabai (as Regent), INO Farukkhsiyar, Silver Rupee, Kolhapur Sarkar Raibagh, 11.27 g, 22.58 mm, RY 4. The issues of Kolapur, located within the Sarkar of Raibagh mint are one of the earliest instances of Maratha coins struck in the name of a Mughal emperor. Their issue was precipitated by anxieties of Tarabai, the dowager Rani of Kolhapur and a claimant to the Maratha 'Chhatrapati'-ship, in response to her rival Shahu of Satara having sought an approval of the Mughal emperor for his claims. Extremely Fine, Very Rare.
