Question

was the first Sikh ruler who issued coins in the name of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sikhism was coined by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He was the tenth Guru of the 17 century in the Punjab region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. The Faith practices were formalised by Guru Gobind Singh Ji on 13 April 1699.[1] The latter baptised five Sikh people from different parts of India and had different social backgrounds to form Khalsa (ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ). The first five, Pure Ones, then baptised Gobind Singh ji into the Khalsa fold.[2] This gives the order of Khalsa, a history of around 300 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Maharaja Ranjit Singh

Explanation:

Maharaja Ranjit Singh occupied Lahore in 1799 and proclaimed himself Maharaja in 1801. His coins issued from Lahore from 1801 onwards, from Amritsar since 1805-06, from Multan since 1818 and from Kashmir (Srinagar) since 1819 bore the same inscription as had appeared earlier on the Gobindshahi coins, but Ranjit Singh's coins were called Nanakshahl. Their distinguishing mark was a tree leaf and later a peacock's feather. Coins were also struck during his reign at Pind Dadan Khan, Jharig and Peshawar. The custom was that coins struck at a new mint on the first day were sent to Amritsar as an offering at the Akal Takht. In 1806, Ranjit Singh issued "Morarishahi" or "Arsi di Mohar Vale" coin in honour of his favourite dancing girl whom he took as one of his queens. The offering made of these coins was not accepted at the Akal Takht. Similarly, the coins issued by Maharaja Sher Singh (18414) were not accepted at the Takht Kesgarh Sahib, Anandpur, as offering because instead of the usual legend "Akal Sahai Guru Nanak ji" they bore "Akal Sahai Sher Singh". From 1828 onwards the Lahore mint issued gold mohars popularly called butkis. It contained 111/2 mashas (approximately 10 grams) of pure gold, and had, in addition to the usual distich and legend, the word Waheguru (Sikh name for God) written thrice over in Gurmukhi letters. The rupee coin contained a similar quantity of silver while coins of lower denominations (dhela or taka and paisa) were made from copper.
