&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Note: The princely state of&nbsp;Junagad&nbsp;(also called&nbsp;Sorath&nbsp;/&nbsp;South&nbsp;/&nbsp;Saurashtra) was ruled by the&nbsp;descendants of Sher Khan Babi, a&nbsp;powerful Pathan noble&nbsp;of&nbsp;Muhammad Shah’s court.&nbsp;Muhammad Rasul Khan&nbsp;was the&nbsp;penultimate Nawab&nbsp;of the state. He was&nbsp;installed on the throne at Junagadh on 20th June 1892&nbsp;and was&nbsp;granted a personal salute of 15-guns. An&nbsp;enlightened ruler, he&nbsp;expanded educational institutions,&nbsp;built railways and hospitals, and&nbsp;virtually extinguished the historic animosities&nbsp;between the Hindu and Muslim communities.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The&nbsp;later Nawabs of Junagad&nbsp;struck&nbsp;ceremonial gold coins of Kori denomination, similar to other Gujarati states like&nbsp;Kutch,&nbsp;Nawanagar, and&nbsp;Porbandar. However,&nbsp;this particular issue is exceptional&nbsp;because it is&nbsp;struck to a mohur standard.&nbsp;AH1318 corresponds to 1900-1901&nbsp;the&nbsp;only plausible reason&nbsp;such a coin could have been struck at this time is the&nbsp;accession of Edward VII on 22 January 1901. It is&nbsp;likely that very few coins were struck as mohurs&nbsp;to&nbsp;celebrate the event&nbsp;and to&nbsp;pay respects to the new King-Emperor.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This Rare&nbsp;Gold Mohur with dual date AH 1318 / VS 1956&nbsp;is likely the&nbsp;first known example&nbsp;of its type to appear in a public auction. The&nbsp;Date Combination is UNLISTED in major references like Krause (KM), and no other similar piece is recorded in major auction archives.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
