trangebari_1 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/22/2024 5:04 pm Wanted to share this beautiful Nazarana mohur that I got a few years back. Indore has produced some of the most beautiful silver and copper coins, but the number of gold coins known from Indore can be counted with fingers on one hand. It makes this coin even more endearing to me. This particular coin is believed to have been struck by the Royal family for ceremonial purposes. Description: India, Fasli Indore, Tukoji Rao II (1844-1886 AD) Gold presentation Nazarana Mudra mohur, Possibly Unique NGC MS65 Vikram Samvat 1934, Fasli era 1287, Obv: Sunburst encircled by Sanskrit legend "SRI MAHARAJA SHAIVAMALIARISNUSHA AHLYA" Samvat 1934 Rev: Word "Mudra" encircled by stars and Sanskrit legend "PRATRENDRURADHISHA TUKOJI HOLKADA" Sana 1287 The inscription on this coin is split between the two sides. The inscription on the two sides mean: "Tukoji Holkar, the King of Indore, (who is) the grandson of Ahalya, the daughter-in-law of the king Malhari, the devotee of Shiva".

trangebari_1 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/22/2024 6:52 pm Thank you @jbuck and @Spence. That is an interesting interpretation. I thought it was a tilak (decorative / religious dot placed on forehead in Hinduism). Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/22/2024 8:36 pm Well I'm sure you know much more than I do about this than I do so I'm thinking that your interpretation is correct.
