| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered gold flan bearing a highly stylized device in the field, characteristic of late Mughal fanam coinage struck under Shah Alam II. The design features a rudimentary upright symbol or letter-form, possibly a degraded Arabic or Nagari character, surrounded by a beaded border. The striking is irregular, reflecting the primitive hammered technique typical of these diminutive gold fanams. Details are worn and partially indistinct owing to the small module and crude die work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II ruled for nearly half a century yet spent much of that reign as a political prisoner or puppet — first under the Marathas after Panipat in 1761, then effectively under British protection following the Battle of Bhopal in 1788, when Mahadji Scindia had him blinded on disputed pretexts. Coins struck in his name continued to be issued across fragmented successor mints long after the emperor retained any real authority, making precise attribution of small gold fractions to specific mints or regnal years a persistent problem for catalogers.
