| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse displays three horizontal registers of Persian and Nagari script divided by raised lines, following the standard Mughal rupee format adapted by the Maratha Raste chiefs. The upper register carries the mint name Dar ul Khilafat Shahjahanabad. The central register contains the regnal year expressed in Hijri numerals, reading (1)181, corresponding to Regnal Year 10. A small Nagari character 'Ra', serving as the Marathi initial of the Raste family who controlled the mint, appears in the field as a distinguishing privy mark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Maratha Confederacy's practice of striking coins in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II was not tribute — it was calculated political theater. By invoking imperial authority on their own coinage, the Marathas legitimized their position as the de facto power behind a throne they had no intention of restoring. The Raste chiefs of Pune were minor sardars within this system, their issues distinguishable by specific mint epithets rather than any formal grant of minting rights.
Dar ul Khilafat Shahajanabad — "the seat of the caliphate, Shahjahanabad" — names Delhi as mint city on a coin almost certainly struck in the Deccan.
