1 Rupee - Shah Alam II Azimabad mint

Shah Alam II's early regnal years were catastrophic. Defeated at Panipat in 1761 alongside his Maratha allies, he spent much of the following decade as a wandering emperor without effective control of Delhi, issuing coins from provincial mints simply to maintain the fiction of sovereignty. Azimabad — present-day Patna — was Bihar's commercial hub and one of the few mints still operating under nominal Mughal authority during this period of near-total imperial collapse.

The East India Company was already the dominant power in Bengal by this date, making these issues among the last Mughal rupees struck with any pretense of independent monetary authority in the region.
