Senapati
Senapati (Sanskrit: सेनापति; ''sena-'' meaning "army", ''-pati'' meaning "lord") is a title in ancient India denoting the rank of military commander or general of the army. It was a hereditary title of nobility used in the Maratha Empire. During wartime, a ''Sardar Senapati'' or ''Sarsenapati'' (also colloquially termed ''Sarnaubat'') functioned as the Commander-in-Chief of all Maratha forces, coordinating the commands of the various ''Sardars'' in battle. Ranking under the heir-apparent crown prince and other hereditary princes, the title ''Senapati'' most closely resembles a British Duke or German ''Herzog'' in rank and function. On occasion, the title ''Mahasenapati'' (Sanskrit: महा ''maha-'' meaning "great") was granted; this best equates to a Grand Duke or a German ''Großherzog''. Unlike ''Sardar'', ''Senapati'' is a primogeniture hereditary title that passes on to the eldest son. There are several royal ''Senapati'' families alive today, including th ...

Before 1830s, shivrai was valued at 1/74 to 1/80 of a rupee. There are 150 different types of shivrai extant to date.

The purpose of this was to bring the new pice, worth 1/64 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 the 19th century.
