| Additional information |
Shah Alam II spent much of his reign as a political prisoner or puppet — first under the Marathas after Panipat in 1761, then effectively under British protection following the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765. The Mewar state's continued striking of coinage in his name across this span was largely a formality of Mughal nominal suzerainty rather than any meaningful political allegiance to Delhi.
Bhilwara was Mewar's principal copper-minting center, operating with considerable autonomy throughout the eighteenth century.
