| Additional information |
The Nawabdom of the Carnatic was, by the 1750s, a polity in free fall. Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah held the title only through sustained British military support, his authority contested by French-backed rivals throughout the Carnatic Wars. Coins struck under his name during this window circulated across a coastal strip of southeastern India where actual political control shifted with each campaign season. The cash denomination itself descended from much older South Indian reckoning systems, retained purely because local bazaar commerce demanded it.
