Description
Struck during the reign of Shivaji Rao Holkar in Indore State, this copper ½ Anna coin dated Vikram Samvat 1945 (c. 1888 CE) represents the localized coinage system of princely India. Weighing approximately 12.5 grams and produced using milled techniques, it reflects the transition toward more standardized minting.
The obverse displays a reclining bull facing left, accompanied by Devanagari legends reading “Shivaji Rao” and “Indore,” emphasizing both rulership and issuing authority.
The reverse features the denomination “Adhi Anna” along with the date in Vikram Samvat, enclosed within a decorative wreath-like border in Devanagari script.
This coin appeals to collectors of princely state coinage, offering a combination of regional identity, clear inscriptions, and traditional Hindu iconography within a well-defined historical framework.
