Comments
- Poona mint (Transitional mint), East India Company issue
- Listed in KM under India Independent kingdoms - Maratha Confederacy which is wrong based on facts mentioned below
- The third Anglo - Maratha war (known as the Pindari war) ended in 1818 AD., with the defeat of the Marathas at the hands of the British East India Company forces led by Governor General Hastings. The Peshwas were defeated at the Battle of Khadki (then spelt Kirkee) on 5 November 1817 near Pune and the city was seized by the British. It was placed under the administration of the Bombay Presidency. These coins dated 1820-44, were issued by the EIC after the war ended in 1818. They were issued in the name of the Mughal Emperor so they would be accepted by the local people.
- Fasli Era has a 12 month calendar from July to June. Adding 590 to Fasli year = Gregorian calendar (AD)
Fasli which means (harvest) is derived from the Arabic term for division, which in India was applied to the groupings of the seasons. Fasli Calendar is a chronological system introduced by the Mughal Emperor Akbar
- Shah Ali Gauhar was another name for Shah Alam II
