| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displaying the Mughal-style royal inscription in Nastaliq Arabic script, incorporating the regnal year 45 of Shah Alam II. Horizontal line elements divide the field in the characteristic format of Mughal-derived quarter rupee coinage, with a small pellet ornament visible in the lower portion of the field. The design follows the standard Mughal imperial type as adopted by the Pratabgarh princely state, with slightly irregular strike typical of hammered local mint production. |

Pratapgarh was a small Rajput princely state in what is now Rajasthan, and its coinage is notable for the persistence of Mughal monetary forms long after Mughal authority had collapsed. Shah Alam II died in 1806, yet his name continued to appear on coins struck by subordinate rulers for decades afterward — a legal fiction that provided legitimacy without requiring acknowledgment of either Maratha or British overlordship. This piece, dated 1821, was struck under Dulep Singh well into the period of British paramountcy.
