GWALIOR: MUSAGARH: Daulat Rao, 1794-1827, AR rupee (10.71g), Musagarh, AH"3012" (for 1230?), KM-—, similar to type KM-85 of Isagarh, with cannon on reverse, mint name at top of reverse, VF to EF, RRR, ex Paul Stevens Collection. According to Shailendra Bhandare: "Finally, it is worth mentioning that the name 'Musagarh' is actually a pun - as companion to 'Isagarh', or 'Fort of Jesus,' it could be a reference to 'Fort of Moses', but 'Musa' was also the Indian version of the French honorific 'monsieur', so it could equally stand for 'Fort of the Monsieur', an indirect reference to [Jean Baptiste] Filose himself. Perhaps the poetic side of Filose is well brought out by this innovative place name!"
