| Additional information |
Shah Alam II died in 1806, yet Gwalior — like several Maratha-affiliated states — continued striking coins in his name for decades afterward, a practice that suited local commerce and avoided the political friction of introducing new regal types. By the time Jayaji Rao Scindia was issuing these quarters under that fiction, the emperor whose name they carried had been dead for over sixty years.
