&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Note:&nbsp;The exceptional design of these “Nazarana”&nbsp;coin, comprising wreaths of Lenten roses (Hellebores) and holly, links their issue with the festivities of Christmas. In 1803, during the Second Anglo-Maratha War, Lord Lake entered Delhi and, on 16 September 1803, visited Shah ‘Alam,&nbsp;who reportedly called him his “friend and deliverer.” from that date the British controlled affairs in Delhi, including the mint.<o:p></o:p>A British contingent under General Fraser, with 5000 infantries,&nbsp;laid siege to Deeg on 11 December 1804&nbsp;(AH 1219, RY 47 of Shah Alam II), which surrendered on 24 December.&nbsp;The sack of Deeg on Christmas Eve 1804 prompted the striking of these particularly beautiful coins with floral borders, first issued in AH 1219 / RY 47 (18 July 1804 to 1 April 1805). The design continued for a further two regnal years.<o:p></o:p>These mohurs of the so-called ‘wreath type’&nbsp;are described in the British Museum Catalogue as well as by Paul Stevens as: “Obv. and Rev. Enclosed in wreath of roses, thistles, and shamrocks.”&nbsp;However, close observation shows no thistles or shamrocks. The wreath with berries resembles holly,&nbsp;often used in Christmas decoration with its red berries. The flowers look like roses, but could well be Lenten roses (hellebores). It is tempting to assume that the success of the “Grand Army”, with the surrender of the Jat fort of Deeg&nbsp;and the major defeat of the Maratha chief Jaswant Rao Holkar&nbsp;on Christmas Eve 1804, may have inspired the design&nbsp;of these outstanding coins.<o:p></o:p>A TRUE Jewel of&nbsp;this Jubilee Auction, this Remarkable coin embodies an exquisite fusion of Rarity, aesthetic elegance, and historical depth. Widely regarded as one of the most visually captivating&nbsp;SPECIMENS of its series, its refined artistry and graceful presence elevate it beyond mere numismatic value.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;In this pristine quality, it is very likely being offered for the first time in any Indian auction.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;
