| Additional information |
Shah Alam II spent much of his reign as a pensioner of whoever controlled Delhi — the Marathas after Panipat in 1761, then the British following the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The Gokulgarh mint operated in the Alwar region of Rajputana under effectively autonomous local authority, one of dozens of provincial mints still striking in the emperor's name long after he had ceased to exercise any real power over them.
The regnal years on these pieces often bear no meaningful relationship to actual imperial administration at Gokulgarh.
