Jai Singh II- Sawai Jai Singh, Silver Rupee, 11.13g, Sawai Jaipur Mint, in the name of Muhammad Shah, RY 13, with a Trishul mark on obverse in the last line. (Unreported variety). Complete Mint name on bottom of reverse. Extremely fine, extremely rare. The mint at Jaipur became regularly functional towards the end of the rule of Muhammad Shah, so the RY seen on this coin is quite early. It corresponds to 1732-33. There were many important events that took place around this time - Jai Singh II started building his capital city of Jaipur in 1727 and in 1732, he completed several important buildings including the observatory and his palace. In the same year he was appointed the Subahdar of Malwa for the third time and visited Ujjain. In 1734, he performed an ‘Ashwamedha’ sacrifice. It is likely that this hitherto unknown variety of rupee was struck for one such event. It is also likely that it was perhaps struck, using the Jaipur rupee as a prototype in another Rajput kingdom, such as a thikana of Jaipur. Whichever way, this is an interesting coin for Jaipur enthusiasts.
