Coinage of Bundi Skewer “Katarshahi’’

Abstract

The study of the state currency of Bundi has been presented in this paper. As mentioned above, Bundi state was formerly a part of Malav Janpad. Later, the Hada Rajputs settled their settlement here and established Bundi in the valley of Bunda. In the past, evidence of currency in Bundi is known from Malav Janpad. The Mughal era is visible on the Bundi currency ever since the Bundi state joined the Mughal service. Coins in different names and periods were prevalent in Bundi, the main ones being Ramshahi, Katarshari and Chehreshahi. The Ramshahi coin was in circulation between 1859 to 1886
