Beschrijving voorzijde The field is dominated by bold, deeply struck Nastaliq calligraphy in Persian script, arranged in two horizontal registers separated by a ruled line. The upper register contains the name and titles of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, rendered in characteristic Mughal hammered-coin style. The lower register bears the regnal year or additional titular inscription, with small diamond-shaped ornaments (lozenges) interspersed in the field as decorative elements. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production, and the legends fill virtually the entire surface of the coin.

Aanvullende informatie

Daulat Rao Sindhia inherited Gwalior in 1794 at roughly fourteen years old, following the assassination of his predecessor Madhoji Sindhia — the brilliant Maratha general who had effectively controlled the Mughal emperor as a puppet. Daulat Rao's early reign coincided with the rapid deterioration of Maratha confederacy unity, culminating in the Second Anglo-Maratha War of 1803, after which Gwalior ceded significant territories to the East India Company under the Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon.

Mohurs of this early regnal period were struck to the Mughal weight standard that Maratha states had inherited and continued using well into British paramountcy.
