MARATHA INDEPENDENT KINGDOM, silver rupees from the mints of Athani and Bagalkot struck in the name of Shah Alam II, dated A.H. 1181, (Wiggin T2 (illustrated, p.44); T2 (illustrated p.45); Bagalkot illustrated as KM.84), (KM.71, 84). Good very fine. (2)
Wiggin in "Maratha Mints and Coinage" (p.44) believes that the Athani mint issue of date 1181 is conceivably an error for AH 1171 (1757-58) the year they were first struck. Both Athani and Bagalkot mints remained part of the Maratha domain until 1818.
