STAMPS Scinde Dawk The Dawk or Dak was a very old system of runners that served the Indus Valley of Sindh, (Now in Pakistan). The term Scinde Dawk refers to the irst adhesive postage stamps in Asia. The name derives from the words “Scinde”, the British spelling of the name of the province of “Sindh”, and “Dawk”, the anglicised spelling of the Hindustani word “Dak” or Post. In 1852, India became the 10th country in the world and irst in asia to issue postage stamps in a remote province called scinde. Sir. Bartle Frere designed the stamps .
B
artle Frere of the East India Company became the Chief Commissioner of Sindh in 1850. Following the English example set by Rowland Hill, Frere improved upon the postal system of Sindh by introducing a cheap and uniform rate for postage, independent of distance travelled. In 1851 the runners were replaced with an eicient system using horses and camels, following routes through Scinde province, generally along the valley of the Indus river. The mail was carried quickly and eiciently, connecting government oices and post oices from Karachi through Kotri and Hyderabad up to Sukkur.
The Scinde Dawk Stamps were issued for the irst time on 01-07-1852 and subsequently stopped on 30-09-1854 and the balance was ordained to be destroyed. White & Red were locally done, whereas blue was printed by De La Rue. Red was the result to replace white as it was not visible in candle light.
All Scinde Dawk Stamps presented here are Printed By De La Rue, London

Portuguese founded the town of Chuchura (Hooghly) in 1579, but the district has thousands of years of heritage in the form of the great kingdom of Bhurshut. The city lourished as a trading port and some religious structures were built. One such structure is a Christian church dedicated to a statue of Mary, brought by the Portuguese. In the 17th century, political disorder struck the city and the Mughal governor of Bengal expelled the Portuguese. The leeing Portuguese lost the statue in the river, but local people later found it on the river bank. The arrested Portuguese were taken to Delhi, where a death sentence of trampling by elephants was decreed. When the emperor Shah Jahan heard this he ordered the priests released and granted a piece of land on the bank of the river Hooghly, where the statue of Mary was re-established. There the Portuguese constructed a church to house the statue, which still receives pilgrims today. In 1656 the Dutch erected a factory on the site of the town. At that time Calcutta was the principal settlement in Dutch Bengal, who used it as a base for the Dutch intra-Asian opium trade.

In 1759 the garrison of Chinsura, on its march to Chandernagore, attacked a British force under Colonel Forde. The Battle of Chinsurah lasted less than half an hour and ended with the rout of the Dutch attackers. In 1795, during the Napoleonic wars, a British garrison occupied the settlement. The peace of 1814 restored Hughli to the Dutch. However, in 1825, the Dutch ceded many of their possession in India to the British, in exchange for the British possessions in Sumatra. Both Chinsurah and Hooghly played a role in the Bengal renaissance and the Indian independence movement. “Vande Mataram”, India’s national song, was composed by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay at Joraghat in Chinsurah, who had been an alumnus of the Hooghly Collegiate School . Nazrul Islam’s revolutionary songs were penned while he was imprisoned by the British in Hooghly Jail. Estimate : ` 7,500-10,000

The famous Horse Sacriice type Ashwamedha Parakramah and Haymedha Parakramah of Chakravati Raja Samudragupta Ashwamedha or Haymedha was one of the grandest of the Vedic religious rites of ancient India, performed by a king to celebrate or to be more precise is to prove their imperial sovereignty. The ceremony is described in detail in various Vedic writings, particularly the Shatapath Brahmana. A special ine stallion was selected and was allowed to roam freely for a year under the protection of a royal guard. If the horse entered a foreign country, its ruler had either to ight or to submit. If the horse was not captured during the year, it was victoriously brought back to the capital accompanied by the rulers of the lands it entered, and then sacriiced at a great public ceremony, which was accompanied by much feasting and celebration. The wandering horse was said to symbolize the Sun in its journey over the world and, consequently, the power of the king over the whole Earth. On successfully carrying out a horse sacriice, the king could assume the title of chakravarti (universal monarch). The rite served not only to glorify the king but also to ensure the prosperity and fertility of the entire kingdom.

The major point to note is the usage of a diferent variant of the word Haya which in Sanskrit or Hindi is the synonym of Ashwa alias Ghotak, Raviputra, Turang, Saindhav, Dadhika, Sarta etc.It could be noted from this specimen that at the time of issuing the Ashwamedha coins to commemorate and to celebrate the Vedic ritual, the orders were issued to celebrate this event in grandeur in the whole Gupta Kingdom and simultaneously the royal court would have selected some prominent and major coin mints to strike the Horse Sacriice coins. And one of them would have minted this typical diferent type than the usual Ashwamedha types where they have used the Sanskrit word “HAYA” instead of “ASHWA” and struck Haymedha Parakramah. This specimen is as similar as the Battle-Axe type where the word “Kr” was used instead of “Samudra” in obverse. And similarly of Tiger-Slayer type where the word “Vyaghra-Nihanta” is used instead of “Raja Samudragupta” on the reverse. Highly signiicant coin from the Gupta Dynasty as “Haya” is readable instead of “Ashwa” on this. Only 2-3 specimens are known including this one.

Shah Shuja (AH 1068-1070)
377. Patna Mint, Silver Rupee, AH 1068/Ahad RY, Obv: kalima shahada inscription La ilaha ilal Allah, Muhammadar Rasul Allah with dotted motifs and leaf designs within the square, four khalifas name in margin around Rev: “shah shuja muhammadi badshah ghazi” in square & abul zafar nasr ud din muhammad saheb-e- qiran sani, regnal year ahad completely visible, mint name out of lan in left margin with single nukta of Persian nun from Patna is seen,11.19g, 21.62mm, (KM # 276.1, Zeno # 137500), choice extremely ine, Exceedingly Rare. One of the die-identical specimen of Patna mint is uploaded on zeno website viz. coin no #137500, where complete mint name Patna is visible at left margin on the reverse side, and on the obverse “kalima shahada in square is written with the dotted motifs and leaf is seen just under the word “ALLAH” (in Arabic) in last line within the square”. If we compare both examples we see much better obverse on the specimen ofered here in the sale which has same dotted motifs and leaf is seen much clearer under the word “ALLAH” (in Arabic). Now on the reverse of zeno’s example we could clearly read out the zarb patna at left margin, if that is compared with this specimen then the single nukta of persian nun is seen but the remaining letters went of lan which no where makes this specimen less than of zeno’s Patna because this is the only 2nd example of such type. We have reconstructed the of lan letters of mint and displayed it for the reference of collectors. Shah Shuja who lived from 23rd June 1616 –7th February 1661 was the second of the four sons of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and Empress Mumtaz Mahal. Shah Shuja was the second of the four sons of Shah Jahan, the eldest being Dara Shikoh, followed by Aurangzeb and Murad Bakhsh. All four sons held posts as governors during their father’s reign. Shah Shuja was appointed by Shah Jahan as the Governor of the Bengal & was stationed at Rajmahal (Akbarnagar). He was the irst to claim the throne & marched at the head of army towards Delhi. When Shah Jahan fell ill, a power struggle ensued between the four brothers, Shuja crowned himself emperor and took imperial titles, the Khutba was read and coins were struck at Patna and Akbarnagar. With Aurangzeb’s burgeoning strength and domination over the other brothers, Aurangzeb marched from Punjab to the east where Shah Shuja’s army was routed. Shuja led to Arakan where he perished but he irst arrived at Chittagong and stayed for some time, from where he took the land route to Arakan which is still called Shuja Road and died near Mrauk-U, Arakan. The entire period from AH 1068–AH 1070 where we ind the coins of Shah Shuja, Murad Baksh, Aurangzeb of the same dates is very interesting. Till date it is not conirmed that for how long the Shah Shuja has ruled as a Mughal Ruler because the coins have appeared with the single date. One of the highest rarity in Mughal rupees and ofered for the irst time in any auction, only Akbarnagar mints are ofered earlier in all auctions. An important specimen with original mud deposits on the surface as it is. Estimate : ` 7,00,000 - 9,00,000 54

Muhammad Akbar II (AH 1202/03/ 1788 AD) 488. Prince Muhammad Akbar II (1st Reign) , Sri Hardwar Mint, Silver Rupee, (AH 1202)/Ahad RY, struck during the irst princely reign, when Akbar II was placed on the throne by the Rohilla Ghulam Qadir. Mughal coins struck in the name of the pretender Muhammad Akbar, at Hardwar, “hami-e-deen” couplet, Obv: sikka zad dar jahan ze fazle elah, hami-e-dine muhammad akbar shah, Rev: sana julus & zarb, mint name readable as (sr)(i)(har)(dwar) sri hardwar on top, 11.15g, 22.29mm, Unlisted Type (JONS 175, page 23 – Dr Shailendra Bhandare), choice extremely ine, Extremely Rare. This specimen is of the variety with a circle left to the Ahad. Muhammad Akbar was elevated to the throne as a puppet by Ghulam Qadir on 15th October 1788. He led Delhi only two days later, in the wake of the Marathas attacking and entering Delhi, taking the king with him. He attempted to reach Ghausgarh, but probably never managed to reach the place having been intercepted by Maratha army under Mahadaji Sindhia several times. After being on the run for two months, he was inally caught on 19th December, brought to Delhi and executed after prolonged torture and mutilation.

489. Muhammad Akbar Shah II, Shahjahanabad Dar-ul-Khilafa Mint, Silver Rupee, AH 1203/Ahad RY, Obv: “saya-e-fazle elah”couplet, lag symbol, Rev: sana julus zarb, 11.20g, 20.26mm, Unlisted Type, about uncirculated, Extremely Fine. In the later Mughals history the Hijri year 1203 was a period of turmoil and change for the Indian Emperors. It saw the rule of Delhi changing between the hands from Shah Alam II to Bedar Bakht, from Bedar Bakht to Muhammad Akbar II and from Muhammad Akbar II to Shah Alam II again. Akbar II (22 April 1760 – 28 September 1837), who was also known as Akbar Shah II was the penultimate Mughal emperor of India. He reigned from 1806-1837. He was the second son of Shah Alam II and the father of Bahadur Shah II. The young Prince Akbar II was enthroned by the Rohilla chief Ghulam Qadir. Mirza Akbar Shah wrote to Nawab Faizullah Khan: “ …on 14th Muharram (15th October) the imperial throne was illuminated by our august accession and the sound of the kettle-drum of felicitations reached the ears of the inhabitants of earth and the world above … the face of Gold and Silver coins shown brighter than the sun and the moon by the eluence of the impression, of our name on them”. This reign was very short lived when Ghulam Qadir ran away and Mahadaji Scindhia captured Delhi to reinstate the blind emperor Shah Alam II to the throne on 17th October 1788. It is very interesting to note that the emperor has left us a written record of the fact that Khutba was read and coins were struck in both gold and silver for such a short reign and that both such coins have been discovered. For detailed discussion of the event and coinage of the puppets, ome may see the article by Dr Shailendra Bhandare “Muhammad Akbar: A pawn in politics: the irst reign” in the ONS Newsletter 175 (pg18-30) - Year 2003.

These Nimak Rupees have proved rather enigmatic ever since Rodgers wrote about them. He read the ‘mintname on these coins as nimak, which means salt and attributed the rupees to a mint at Pind Dadan Khan, a town at the foot of the Salt Range. This reading was noted with some scepticism as having the name of a commodity as a mintname would be most unusual. Nevertheless, Jyoti Rai in ONS 143 demonstrated that the British had requested the Lahore Durbar to establish a mint at Pind Dadan Khan for the recoining of light-weight Afghan Rupees which were circulating in the area. This mint was in operation from October 1847 to late 1848 which corresponds with the dates found on the “Nimak” Rupees.

Fredrick Wilson popularly known as ‘Raja Wilson’ or‘Pahari Wilson’ was a native of Wakeield, England. He is believed to have deserted from the Indian Army during the First Anglo-Afghan War (1838-39). In early1840’s, he arrived in the Sivalik mountain ranges of Tehri Garhwal. His skills as a hunter enabled him to start a business of selling exotic skins and furs. He then ventured into the logging business - his was the time the British were building the Railways in India and there was great demand for quality wooden sleepers for the rails. Wilson cashed in on this and sent huge deodar trees loating down the river to the plains. Initially, Wilson had not taken permission from the Raja of Tehri-Garhwal for his logging business. But later in the year 1850 he obtained from the Raja of Tehri, an unrestricted lease of many square miles of virginforest for a small annual fee, giving him a share in the proits. It is said that the revenue of the Raja of Tehri went up tenfold. He purchased large tracts of land and on this estate and established his headquarters at Harsil, a small village in the Uttarkashi district. In course of time, Raja Wilson, as he was known by then, minted his own currency in token value of 1 Rupee, of which this is an example. It is an interesting numismatic vestige of the career of a White ‘Raja’. Raja Wilson never left the Garhwal Himalayas. He died on 24 July 1883, aged 66 years.

Nabha 639. Bharpur Singh (1847-63 AD), Silver Nazrana Rupee, VS (18)97, Broad Thin Flan, struck from gold dies?, In the name of Ahmad Shah Durrani (Ahmad Shah Abdali), Obv: “durrani couplet - auj mahi ta bamah”, Rev: sana julus, zarb nabha (not like nabha kanal of other nabha coins type) at bottom & pipal leaf on left, 10.68g, 25.08mm, (KM # Y1.2), choice extremely ine, Extremely Rare.Generally the Bharpur Singh coins are known to have Gobindshahi couplet but this specimen as Durrani couplet.
639
As per the notes of Herrli, he mentions that these were struck on broad thin lan for presentation purposes, but in the name of Ahmad Shah Durrani with the name just nabha rather than nabha kanal as on other coins of Nabha struck from AD1836 / VS1893 onwards, the year that the Nabha obverse regular coins switched from citing Ahmad Shah Durrani to Guru Gobind Shah. Nabha changed the obverse from Ahmad Shah to Gobind Shah in AD1836 / VS1893, which was retained on all coinage until their last issues in AD 1874 / VS1931, with the exception of this one issue restoring the name of Ahmad Shah, same as other Cis-Sutlej states such as Patiala and Maler Kotla. The Sikh Empire was dissolved in AD1849 / VS1906 by the British forces, and it is conceivable that Bharpur Singh’s administration felt more secure abandoning the Sikh inscription, but for reasons we have not been able to determine, restored the Sikh text later in the same year. 640

648
649
In the new book of Mrs. Beena Sarasan, 2nd edition of “Traversing Travancore through the Ages on Coins” the much famous Scott pagoda which was struck on the style of Porto Nova Pagoda on Base gold is correctly attributed as the Travancore state issue. Karthika Thirunal Rama Varma (AD1758-98) had issued two new gold coins in his reign around 964 KE which were Anantharayan Panam and Anantha Varahan whose values were given as Rs.0-4-7 and Rs. 3-15-15 (British Currency) respectively. The Anantha Varahan was not identiiable as the devices on the coin were not known. And then Barbara Mears stumbled on an illustration of this coin by Major G Bidie and wrote in her paper on the Elusive Anantharaya Varahan otherwise the coin would have remain in oblivion and always misattributed as Scott Pagoda. Barbara in her paper identiied two diferent types, one is without lotus sprigs and one with lotus sprigs. Rani Lakshmi Bayi introduced the lotus sprigs to diferentiate her coins. It could all happen with Major G Bidie’s illustration of the Ananthavarahan in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol LII, (1883AD). This is the irst time when it is correctly attributed and ofered under the Travancore issue. Estimate : `1,75 000-2,25,000 650.

Following the Third Mysore War, by virtue of the Treaty of Seringapatam, the East India Company gained a sizeable part of Tipu Sultan’s lands. Included was an area known as the Baramahal, some 70 miles inland from Pondicherry. In charge of this area and Salem was Captain Alexander Reid. There he found a great complexity of coinage in circulation and considered ways of introducing a more standardized coinage of star Pagodas, Fanams and copper coins in addition to the Rupees being struck at Madras. It appears that the coinage struck at Madras was not suicient to supply the newly acquired territories so orders were issued for mints to be opened at Krishnagiri and Salem for the coinage of Pagodas, Fanams, Arcot Rupees and copper Dudus. The two mints seem to have been working by August 1793 but were closed a couple of years later, their products so far being indistinguishable from those produced elsewhere in the presidency. The Salem mint is reported to have closed in 1795 but, if it did, then it must have been revived temporarily in 1798 or 1799 to produce the above copper coins, the only coins that can with certainty be connected with Salem. The fact that so few of these coins are known (maybe no more than 6 or 7) suggests that they never actually saw much, if any in circulation. For more details, refer “Two unsuccessful mints of the East India Company” by Ken Wiggins, in Spink Numismatic Circular, October 1980.An important specimen and the great rarity in Madras Presidency coins.
