Mewar Coin List
The kingdom of Mewar, located in the Rajasthan region of India, was one of the most important and ancient princely states of the subcontinent. Its history dates back more than 1400 years, and during this time, Mewar developed a rich numismatic tradition that reflects its power, culture and political evolution.
History and government of Mewar
Mewar was ruled by the Sisodia dynasty, known for its fierce resistance against foreign invaders, especially the Mughals. The rulers of Mewar, called Maharanas, were considered direct descendants of the sun god and held high status among the Rajputs. The capital of the kingdom changed several times throughout its history, with Chittor and Udaipur being the most notable. Under the rule of Maharanas such as Pratap Singh I and Sangram Singh II, Mewar reached great heights of prosperity and military power, which was reflected in the quality and variety of its coinage.
Mewar Coins
Mewar coins are a testament to the wealth and sophistication of the kingdom. The most common types included silver rupees and gold mohurs, although smaller denominations were also minted in copper. A distinctive feature of Mewar coins was the inscription "I am the servant of Eklingji," referring to the patron deity of the kingdom. The coins often featured Hindu religious symbols, such as the trishul (trident) or the image of a deity. During the period of British influence, Mewar continued to mint its own coins, albeit with modified designs that included English text. These coins are highly valued by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance, offering a unique window into the rich history of one of India's most fascinating princely states.
