| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field carries a multi-line Persian inscription in Nastaliq script recording the mint name Bareilly (Bareli) and the regnal year. Small rosette or pellet ornaments punctuate the field between the lines of inscription. A horizontal dividing line separates the upper and lower sections of the legend. The border is formed by a continuous band of raised beaded dots, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of Rohilkhand under Nawab Hafiz Rahmat Khan. |

Shah Alam II's rupees struck at Bareli represent a politically fraught arrangement: the Rohilla chiefs of Rohilkhand nominally acknowledged Mughal imperial authority by striking in the emperor's name, while in practice operating as an independent Afghan-origin power in the Gangetic plains. Shah Alam II himself spent much of this period either in exile or under the effective control of various competing powers — the Marathas, the British, and regional warlords — making his "authority" on these coins largely ceremonial.
The Rohillas were destroyed as a political force in 1774 when the Nawab of Oudh, backed by British troops under Colonel Champion, swept through Rohilkhand. Bareli mint output from this window is the entire numismatic record of that short-lived dominion.
