| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing three horizontal registers of Arabic calligraphic legend in raised relief, separated by ruled lines. The uppermost register contains the imperial epithet referencing the Mughal emperor Alamgir II as 'Badshah Ghazi' (Warrior King), the central register bears the regnal name 'Alamgir' in bold Naskh script, and the lower register displays the Hijri year 1167. The field exhibits characteristic granular dot ornaments flanking the inscriptions, typical of Mughal hammered coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. The flan is slightly irregular at the rim, consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alamgir II ruled the Mughal Empire in name only — effectively a puppet of the wazir Imad ul-Mulk, who would eventually orchestrate his murder in 1759. Coins struck in his name at Ajmer during this period were part of the dying Mughal monetary infrastructure, with the Bengal Presidency increasingly issuing rupees under Mughal imperial names as a political convenience rather than out of genuine fealty to Delhi.
The Ajmer mint had long served as a key node in Rajputana commerce. By 1754, effective Mughal control over it was largely nominal.
