Shivrai was a copper coin minted during the rule of Marathas[1] and remained in circulation till the end of the 19th century, primarily in the Bombay Presidency region.[2]{{Infobox coin|Denomination = Shivrai|Country = Maratha Empire|Composition = Copper|Years of Minting = 1674 - 1830|Circulation = 1674 - Late 1890s|Value = 1/74th to 1/80th of Rupee|Obverse Design = "Shri / Raja / Shiv" or "Shri / Raja" in Devanagari script, in three or two rows.|Reverse Design = Chhatra / Pati in Devanagari script, in two rows.}} Before 1830s, Shivrai was valued at 1/74th to 1/80th of a Rupee.[3] There are 150 different types of Shivrai extant till date.[2] In 1885, the British government ordered all local revenue collectors (Mamlatdars) to collect all Shivrais and deposit them in treasury. The purpose of this was to bring the new pice, worth 1/64th of Rupee, in currency by eliminating this native rival.[2] In 1890, Rev. Abbott collected and studied around 25,000 Shivrais. He mentions that they were still in circulation.[2] The Shivrai remained in circulation till the end of the 19th century.[2] Shivaji's Shivrai{{Infobox coin|Country = Maratha Empire|Denomination = Shivaji's Shivrai|Obverse = Shivrai 01.jpg|Reverse = Shivrai 02.jpg|Circulation = 1674 - 1890s|Value = 1/74th to 1/80th of Rupee|Composition = Copper|Obverse Design Date = 1674|Reverse Design Date = 1674|Obverse Design = Shri / Raja / Shiv in Devanagari script, in three rows.|Reverse Design = Chhatra / Pati in Devanagari script, in two rows.|Diameter = 23|Thickness = 4}}When the Maratha warrior Shivaji became Chhatrapati of the Maratha empire,[4] as a symbol of sovereignty, the Rajyaabhisheka Shaka (The Coronation Era) was started. On the occasion of coronation, special coins were minted, including a gold coin called Shivrai Hon.[5] These coins have Shri Raja ShivaChhatrapati, in Devanagari, inscribed on them.Dudandi ShivraiDudandi Shivrais (Marathi: दुदांडी शिवराई) were minted during Peshwa period.[6] Dudandi literally means two-bars.[7] {{Infobox coin|Denomination = Dudandi Shivrai|Country = Maratha Empire|Value = 1/74th to 1/80th of Rupee|Diameter = 20|Composition = Copper|Circulation = Mid 18th to late 19th century|Obverse = Dudandi Shivrai 02.jpg|Reverse = Dudandi Shivrai 01.jpg|Obverse Design = Shri / Raja in Devanagari script, in two rows.

This horizontal line, combined with the horizontal heading line of the word "Raja", gives us an impression of "Double bars", hence the term "Dudandi". EIC's ShivraiThe British East India Company minted Shivrais at Poona during the period of 1820-1830.[8] Unlike Earlier Shivrais, these contained year of minting on it.[9] The dotted collar of earlier Shivrais is also absent.[9] The year was given in Fasli era.[8]{{Infobox coin|Denomination = EIC's Shivrai|Country = Company Raj|Value = 1/74th to 1/80th of Rupee|Diameter = 19|Weight = 9.80|Composition = Copper|Years of Minting = 1820 - 1830|Circulation = 1820 - Late 1890s|Obverse Design = Numeric Fasli year, "Raja" in Devanagari|Reverse Design = Chhatra / Pati in Devanagari script, in two rows.}} See also{{Portal|Numismatics}}{{-}References1. ^Shivaji era copper coins found at construction site {{MarathaEmpire}}{{coin-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite book|title = महाराष्ट्रातील चलनाचा इतिहास (History of the coinage of Maharashtra)|last = Prabhune|first = Padmakar|publisher = Diamond Publications|year = 2007|isbn = 978-81-89724-92-4|location = Pune|pages = 76}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url = https://books.google.co.in/books?id=_A0IAQAAIAAJ&dq=shivrai%20coin&pg=PA306&ci=231%2C291%2C696%2C74|title = Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Thane, Pt I, Pg 306.|date = 1882|accessdate = 29 June 2015|website = Google books|publisher = Government Central Press|last = |first = }} 4. ^Rare coins will be on display 5. ^Coins from Shivaji era main attraction at rare items expo 6. ^{{Cite web|title = http://www.shivrajabhishek.org/event_news.php?ne_id=23|url = http://www.shivrajabhishek.org/event_news.php?ne_id=23|website = www.shivrajabhishek.org|accessdate = 2015-07-09}} 7. ^{{Cite web|title = 'Dudandi' Meaning in English - Meanings of Marathi Words in English, English to Marathi Dictionary, Marathi to English Dictionary|url = http://marathidictionary.org/meaning.php?id=29412&lang=Marathi|website = marathidictionary.org|accessdate = 2015-07-09|first = Tamil|last = tamildictionary.org}} 8. ^1 {{Cite journal|url = |title = The coins of the Bombay Presidency; The Transitional Mints of the Deccan|last = Stevens|first = Paul|date = 11 Apr 2008|journal = Oriental Numismatic Society, Newsletter # 181|doi = |pmid = |access-date = }} 9. ^1 {{Cite web|url = http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=56956|title = B.E.I.C., Shivarai or Chhatrapati Paisa, struck at Poona 1820 - 1830|date = 10 Jul 2015|accessdate = 10 Jul 2015|website = ZENO.RU - Oriental Coins Database|publisher = |last = |first = }} 4 : History of India|Coins of India|Shivaji|Monuments and memorials to Shivaji |
