Mohur, "AH 1130 Year 2 (1717/8)". Lashkar Mint. Daulat Rao Sindhia. NGC MS-65. Variety with bow and arrow pointing downward on reverse. A lovely Gem specimen of this frozen date issue, sharply struck and sporting strong luster throughout, with a touch of golden orange patina lending additional appeal." Daulat Rao Sindhia was maharaja of Gwalior 1794-1827. He, along with the Holkars of Indore, the Bhonslas of Nagpur, the Gaekwads of Baroda and the Peshwas of Puna, was the leading member of the Maratha Confederacy. The British regarded him as an untrustworthy troublemaker and had to campaign against him several times to get him to abide by the treaties he had signed. His coinage is backdated. Other Gwalior mohurs of this period include KM 132, 133, KM 155, A75 and 160.
