1 Rupee In the name of Alamgir II

Alamgir II held the Mughal throne from 1754 until his murder in 1759, a reign defined almost entirely by the dominance of his wazir Imad ul-Mulk, who wielded actual power and ultimately ordered his killing. Bikaner, like most Rajput states of the period, continued striking rupees in the emperor's name well beyond his death — a fiscal and political convention that had little to do with loyalty and everything to do with trade acceptance, since coins invoking Mughal authority circulated more freely across northern India than those of any regional power.

The date range on this type spans the reigns of two emperors, meaning some of these rupees were struck nominally for a man already dead for years.
