Rana Sanga. 1484-1527. Æ 1/2 falus (13 mm, 4.06 g). Nagari legend Sri Rana Sa(ngra)ma Sa(ha) / Garbled Arabic legend. Goron & Goenka M270 (rr). A fine specimen of the Rajput hero with his name clearly visible. Dark brown patina. Very fine.

The great hero of the Rajputs, Rana Sanga, led the Rajput confederacy against the Mughal invader Babur at the Battle of Khanua in 1527. At a crucial point in the ten-hour long battle, the Rana was wounded and knocked unconscious on his horse, leading to a panic in the Rajput army. This turned the tide in the favor of the Mughals and gave the fledgling Mughal Empire a strong foothold in north India. Rana Sanga died shortly afterwards.  A fine specimen of the Rajput hero with his name clearly visible. Rated RR (Very Rare) by Goron & Goenka.  Very Rare and CHOICE. $100
