Lot description:


Nawabs of Arcot - Dost Ali Khan (1732-1740), gold 1/3 mohur or 5 Rupees, in the name of Muhammad Shah, mint-name Arkat, RY 2X, not listed in KM, 3.84g. Extremely fine, Rare. Estimate: 70,000 - 90,000

Footnote: This coin was perhaps struck as a 'bridging denomination' between the North Indian Rupee-Mohur system and the South Indian Fanam Hoan/Pagoda system. 1/3rd Mohur weighed close to a Hoan in the South Indian system.
