Maharao Shatrushalya (Chhatra Sal) Singh, Gold Mohur, 10.81g, in the name of Alamgir II, dated in his RY 6, Nandgaon urf Kota Mint almost fully visible. One Shroff mark on obverse otherwise extremely fine+, extremely rare. Coins issued in the name of Alamgir II, RY 6, are the earliest known coins of Kota state and mark the inception of its coinage. Only rupees were known so far and they are also very rare. This is probably the earliest known gold issue for the state and owing to that reason, it does not bear any differentiating symbol. Maharao Chhatra Sal ascended the throne in 1757 but was formally installed at Kota fort on 15 Sept 1758. The 6th RY of Alamgir starts in April 1759 so it is likely that these coins were issued soon after the Hindu New Year festivities in the Spring of 1759. A historically significant issue for coins of the important Rajputana States.
