Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse displays a large, ornate stylized floral or leaf arabesque motif occupying the majority of the field, rendered in bold relief typical of Jaipur hammered copper issues. The design features flowing, scrolling leaf-like forms arranged symmetrically around a central axis, with a crescent-shaped element visible at the upper register. The flan is broad and irregular, consistent with hand-struck production, and the surface shows characteristic granularity of copper coinage from the Sawai Jaipur mint during the reign of Shah Alam II.

Aanvullende informatie

Shah Alam II was Mughal emperor in name only by this period — blind after being blinded by Ghulam Qadir in 1788, and effectively a pensioner of the Marathas, then the British after Patparganj in 1803. Jaipur's continued use of his regnal titles on coinage was a political formality, acknowledging nominal Mughal suzerainty while the Kachhwaha rulers operated with near-total autonomy. The practice was common across Rajputana but carried less weight with each passing year.

KM#39 spans the final decade of that fiction, ending with the British assumption of Delhi.
