Comment
Nawanagar was founded in AD 1540 by Jam Sri Rawalji. This coin belongs to the series of dump coins issued by Sataji Vibhaji, the 3rd ruler of Nawanagar from AD 1569 to AD 1608.
These are stylized imitations of the coins of Muzaffar Shah III (AD 1560 to AD 1574) of Sultanate of Gujarat (India – Islamic) and bear the inscription, ‘Sri Jamji’, the title of all rulers of Nawanagar.
This coin differs from copper Dokdo Y#3 (N#40318), rather resembles silver 1 Kori KM#5 (N#242861).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dokdo ND (1540-1948) coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Sri Raja" in Devanagari script, which is a distinctly Indian feature, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a mosque, indicating the Islamic influence prevalent in the region at the time. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Indian princely states and adds to the coin's historical significance.
