| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular square flan with a boldly struck Nagari inscription reading 'Shah Alam II' in the central field. The legends are rendered in raised relief typical of hammered copper coinage of the Gwalior princely state, with the script occupying the majority of the flan against a plain, undecorated field. The strike is characteristic of Indian feudatory copper issues of the mid-nineteenth century. |

Shah Alam II had been dead for over four decades by the time this coin began circulating. Gwalior's practice of retaining long-dead Mughal emperors as nominal issuing authorities on local coinage was political theater — the Scindia rulers maintained the fiction of Mughal suzerainty well past any practical meaning, partly to avoid drawing British scrutiny to their autonomous monetary arrangements.
Jayaji Rao Scindia, the actual power behind this issue, came to the Gwalior throne as a minor in 1843 following British intervention in the succession crisis. The paisa series running through this period shows considerable die inconsistency across the Lashkar mint.
