| 裏面の説明 | Central field bears bold Persian legends in Naskh script identifying the Katak (Cuttack) mint, rendered in a cursive hand with deeply struck strokes. The inscription fills the flan in a compressed, informal layout characteristic of Maratha hammered silver coinage. A single pellet is visible in the lower central field as a mint or die marker. The flan is irregular and slightly dumpy, consistent with hand-struck production at a provincial mint. |

Ahmed Shah Bahadur, the Mughal emperor nominally depicted on this coin, was by the 1750s a ruler in name only — blinded and imprisoned by his own wazir, Imad ul-Mulk, in 1757. The Marathas exploited precisely this imperial vacuum, issuing coins in his name across territories they militarily controlled as a mechanism of administrative legitimacy. Katak, the old Odishan capital on the Mahanadi, was one such mint operating under Maratha suzerainty following their consolidation of Orissa.
The thirty-year striking window for this type reflects continuous Maratha use of a frozen regal year, a common practice that renders individual date attribution within the series essentially impossible without die study.
