1/4 Rupee - Shah Alam II

正面描述	Three horizontal bands of Persian Naskh script fill the coin's field, divided by two parallel raised lines. The regnal date 1215 (AH) appears prominently at the top of the uppermost band. The legend reads 'Sikka Mubarak Badshah Ghazi Shah Alam,' identifying the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II as the sovereign authority. The script is bold and deeply struck, occupying nearly the entire flan within a plain raised rim.

附加信息	Shah Alam II died in 1806, yet the Bombay Presidency continued striking coins in his name for decades afterward — a deliberate fiction maintained to ease acceptance among populations accustomed to Mughal-style currency. By 1832, the practice was purely administrative convenience; the East India Company had no political reason to invoke a blind, powerless emperor who had spent his final years as a British pensioner in Delhi. The dual Pridmore references suggest this date spans two distinct varieties, likely differing in regnal year rendering or mint mark placement on the frozen Hijri date.
