| Aversbeschreibung | Central field bears the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II in Persian-Nastaliq script, divided by a horizontal line with the regnal AH date (AH 12xx) inscribed above. The inscription is arranged across the flan in typical hammered Mughal style, with the legend occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The script is rendered in bold strokes characteristic of late Mughal copper coinage issued under Maratha suzerainty at Jhansi. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays a continuation of the Persian-Nastaliq legend in the field, with bold cursive strokes filling the irregular flan. Typical of hammered Maratha-issued copper coinage of this period, the design consists of stylized script elements without a clearly defined border or decorative motif. The surface shows the characteristic uneven relief of hand-struck copper paise produced at the Jhansi mint. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Shah Alam II ruled as Mughal emperor for nearly five decades, yet spent much of that reign as a pensioner of whoever held military dominance in northern India — the Marathas, then the British. The Jhansi mint operated under Maratha authority during this period, striking coins in the emperor's name as a political formality rather than any acknowledgment of actual Mughal power. The practice of invoking a weakened emperor's name on local coinage was standard Maratha policy for maintaining a veneer of legitimacy.
After Shah Alam was blinded by Ghulam Qadir in 1788, the fiction became starker still.
