| Beschrijving voorzijde | Three horizontal registers of bold Arabic calligraphy fill the coin's field, all enclosed within a plain linear border. The central and dominant register bears the name and titles of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II in flowing Naskh script. The uppermost register contains an additional portion of the royal legend, while the lower register displays the AH regnal date 1213. The inscription is rendered in the characteristic style of late Mughal hammered coinage, with deeply impressed lettering and slightly irregular flan edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II was the Mughal emperor in name only by the late eighteenth century — blind, dependent on Maratha protection, and presiding over a court that controlled almost nothing beyond Delhi's walls. Coins struck in his name at provincial mints like Bareli reflected this fiction deliberately. Awadh's nawabs found political utility in maintaining the Mughal fiction on their coinage even as the emperor himself had been rendered militarily irrelevant after the disaster at Panipat in 1761.
The Bareli mint operated under Rohilkhand's complex jurisdictional history, a region that had changed hands violently between Rohilla Afghans, Awadh, and the British within a single generation.
