| Additional information |
Alamgir II was a puppet emperor controlled almost entirely by the vizier Imad-ul-Mulk, who would eventually orchestrate his murder in 1759. The Gwalior mint operated under increasingly fragmented Mughal authority during this period, with regional governors effectively autonomous and mint output reflecting local political realities rather than any coherent imperial monetary policy.
By 1756–57, Maratha pressure on the Gwalior region was intensifying, making issues from this mint in this regnal year genuinely scarce survivors of a rapidly collapsing administrative order.
