| Aversbeschreibung | Hammered silver flan bearing stylized Nagari legends and symbols in the field, characteristic of the Gwalior princely state coinage struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The design features bold, somewhat crudely rendered characters occupying the central field, accompanied by decorative diamond-shaped pellets arranged around the periphery. A prominent circular motif is visible in the lower field, flanked by additional script elements. The irregular flan shape and deeply incuse strike are typical of early nineteenth-century hammered Indian princely coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Shah Alam II was the Mughal emperor in whose name this piece was struck, though by 1810 he had been blind for decades — having had his eyes put out by Ghulam Qadir in 1788 — and exercised no real authority whatsoever. The fiction of Mughal suzerainty persisted on coinage long after the empire had ceased to function, because it conferred legitimacy on whoever actually held power locally. In Gwalior, that was the Scindia dynasty.
The KM#24.2 designation distinguishes this issue by mint or die characteristics from the closely related 24.1 type.
