Shivrai
Shivrai was a copper coin minted during the rule of Marathas〔(Shivaji era copper coins found at construction site )〕 and remained in circulation till the end of 19th century, primarily in the Bombay Presidency region.
Before 1830s, Shivrai was valued at 1/74th to 1/80th of a Rupee. There are 150 different types of Shivrai extant till date.〔 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.〔 In 1890, Rev. Abbott collected and studied around 25,000 Shivrais. He mentions that they were still in circulation.〔 The Shivrai remained in circulation till the end of 19th century.〔

When the Maratha warrior Shivaji became ''Chhatrapati'' of the Maratha empire,〔(Rare coins will be on display )〕 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''.〔(Coins from Shivaji era main attraction at rare items expo )〕 These coins have ''Shri Raja ShivaChhatrapati,'' in Devanagari, inscribed on them.
