| Beschrijving voorzijde | Broad, flat copper flan with a heavily corroded and largely featureless field, characteristic of poorly preserved hammered coinage from the Ratlam princely state. The surface displays patches of green verdigris and dark brown oxidation across the entire face. Any inscriptions or devices originally present are now illegible due to advanced wear and corrosion. The irregular flan edge is typical of hand-struck copper issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ratlam was a small Rajput princely state in Malwa whose rulers nominally acknowledged Mughal suzerainty long after the empire had ceased to function as a coherent political entity. Coins struck in Shah Alam II's name were issued across dozens of such states simultaneously — the emperor's name lending a fiction of legitimacy to local rulers who were, in practice, operating independently under Maratha pressure or British influence.
The forty-year attribution window reflects genuine uncertainty about issue dates, a chronic problem with Ratlam copper given inconsistent die dating practices at the mint.
