Thank you Sreedharji for your comments and guidance. I did a few passes on Zeno without success. Let me try other forums suggested by you.

Hi There Hoping you can help me with your expertise. I have 2 coins that I believe are from the Maratha Confederacy under Chhatrapati Sivaji. I think the top coin corresponds to KM#30 (Sri Raja) in the Standard Catalog of World Coins. Or is it the Chri Raja variety? It's 8.4 grams and about 21.5mm. The bottom coin I believe is also Chhatrapati Sivaji it's 7.4 grams and 18mm. Not sure if this one is also 1/2 Paisa? Thanks for any insight!     |

Dear Jay1234,
I think the upper one is KM#188. But the "Shi" is written "Si" in "Shiva". In fact, I have not familiarised with the "chri" raja type. So that needs further research.
The second coin is a typical Unattributable AE Shivarai Paisa.
Both look to be paisa. We may need further information for accurate attribution.

Thanks for your response. I don't see KM#188 listed under Maratha Confederacy. Are you perhaps looking in an older catalog?
Also, is there a KM # for Unattributable AE Shivarai Paisa?

Do you know what edition of the Standard Catalog you're looking at? I'm still not seeing KM# 188. I took a screen shot of the 2 pages that I thought the top coin might be. Is it possibly one of these listings?   |

I have a copy of an older version of the book. Unfortunately I don't have detail of its edition or year of publishing.
Of the pics you have posted, I think the first coin resembles KM#41 the most. Second one has a larger flan and looks like KM#29.

Another addition to the Jaipur state coins. This is a Paisa issued by Jaipur ruler Iswari Singh (1743-1760.CE)in the name of Mughal Emperor Alamgir-II(1754-1759.CE).   Sawai part of legend on reverse can be read and is highlighted. But Jaipur part has worn out badly. The reconstruction of "Jaipur" is tentative. Edited by drnsreedhar

Another coin that is part of the Maratha Confederacy. This is an issue of Gopalrao Patwardhan, the founder ruler of the minor state of "Jamkhandi" from 1811-1840. Name of the ruler is clearly visible on the obverse in a bit corrupt Devanagari script. Tentative mint name "Miraj" is ambiguous.  In the zeno reference, Gopalrao is said to be of the Miraj Senior branch. Searching in documents on PSI rulers' lineage and in Wiki, there is no ruler named 'Gopalrao' in Miraj. Instead, there is mention of the name in Jamkhandi. Only one ruler of this name is seen there also. Edited by drnsreedhar

Yes. You are right. The images are upside down.

Is the coin too worn to determine attribution?
