Nanakshai couplet coins are named for the Persian couplet inscribed on them, which translates to: "Victory gained by the sword of Guru Gobind Singh, is a blessing from Nanak, the true Provider". These coins were primarily issued by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and a few by Duleep Singh.
Sikh Kingdom
The Sikh Empire was an independent kingdom based in the Punjab area of the Indian subcontinent. It existed from 1799, when Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured Lahore, to 1849, when it was defeated and conquered by the British East India Company following the Second Anglo-Sikh War.
Maharaja Sir Duleep Singh, also spelled Dalip Singh or Dulip Singh, and later nicknamed the "Black Prince of Perthshire, was the last king of the Sikh Empire. He was Maharaja Ranjit Singh's youngest son, the only child of Queen Jind Kaur.
