| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II spent the last decades of his reign as a pensioner of the East India Company, effectively blind after being blinded by Ghulam Qadir in 1788, and ruling little beyond the Red Fort walls. The Shahjahanabad mint continued striking mohurs in his name well past any meaningful imperial authority — this 1806 piece was issued just a year before his death, by which point the Mughal emperor held no fiscal or military power whatsoever.
The Company found it politically expedient to maintain the fiction of Mughal sovereignty on coinage, and gold mohurs bearing Shah Alam's name circulated alongside early Company issues without contradiction.
