Description: The name of the state is Garhwal, the mint Srinagar (Srinagar in Garhwal and not the Srinagar in Kashmir) the denomination is a timasha (i.e. coins weighing 3 mashas). The coin is in the name of Shah Alam II, The silver quarter rupees, locally known a timashas, were first struck at Srinagar in Garhwal by Fath Shah (1686-1717) in the late seventeenth century, but the issue was never plentifull until about 1760 when the blockade of the Kathmandu Valley by Prithvi Narayan caused traders to bring wool from western Tibet down to India through Garhwal rather than through Nepal. For the next twenty years until about 1780, the trade flourished and many silver coins were struck. After 1780 political disturbances in Garhwal caused the wool trade to be routed through Ladakh, where similar silver coins were struck, until 1804. In 1792 the Gorkha army defeated Parduman Shah, the ruler of Garhwal, but was unable to follow up its military success when it was recalled to defend Kathmandu against the Chinese. Parduman Shah signed a treaty acknowledging the suzerainty of Nepal, and agreeing to pay an annual indemnity of Rs.9,000. During the period between 1780 and 1804 only copper coins were struck in Garhwal, but in 1804 the Nepalese finally annexed Parduman Shah's territories, established a stable rule in Garhwal, encouraged the wool traders to pass through Garhwal once again, and recommenced the striking of silver coins. From then until 1815, when Garhwal passed into British hands after the treaty of Segauli, numerous silver coins were struck and a smaller number of copper pieces. The silver coins, called timashas were nominally equivalent to a quarter rupee, but actually circulated at five to the Farukhabad rupee. 10 copper Tacas were equal to a silver timasha.
