| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse of hammered silver half rupee struck at Gwalior mint, displaying a combination of Devanagari and Arabic script legends arranged across the field. Bold Devanagari characters dominate the central area, with the Gwalior mint mark and regnal or date references incorporated into the inscription. A small circular pellet device is visible in the upper left field, and additional script elements appear in the lower register. The strike is typical of provincial Indian hammered coinage, with the legends showing the characteristic broad strokes of the Gwalior mint style. The Devanagari character 'जी' (Ji), the distinguishing mark of the Jiyaji Rao issue, appears as a key identifying element. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II was Mughal emperor in name only by 1810 — blinded by Ghulam Qadir in 1788 and thereafter a pensioner of the Marathas, then the British. Gwalior's Scindia rulers, as Maratha chiefs, retained the convention of striking coins in his name long after any meaningful imperial authority had collapsed, a legal fiction that suited tributary relationships and market familiarity alike. Jiyaji Rao's regnal attribution here places this piece within Gwalior's internal dynastic chronology rather than any claim of Mughal legitimacy.
