| Additional information |
Ahmad Shah Bahadur's reign was effectively stage-managed by the Maratha-aligned wazir Safdarjung before his removal in 1753, leaving the emperor increasingly powerless as regional governors ceased remitting revenue to Delhi. Coinage continued to be struck in his name across multiple mints, but the political fiction of Mughal authority it represented was already collapsing — the Third Battle of Panipat was only six years away.
KM#446.15 identifies a specific mint attribution within this type. The broader series is notably variable in flan quality due to declining imperial control over provincial minting standards.
