| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II was, by 1781, emperor in little more than name — the East India Company had controlled Bengal's revenues since Clive extracted the Diwani rights in 1765, and the emperor himself would spend years effectively a prisoner under Maratha protection in Delhi. The Bengal Presidency issued coins in his name as a political convenience, maintaining the fiction of Mughal authority while administering a colonial revenue apparatus beneath it.
KM#125 is known with considerable die variation, a predictable consequence of decentralized production across multiple EIC mints in the subcontinent during this period.
