| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing the Persian/Urdu royal legend in bold Nastaliq script, arranged within a rectangular cartouche framed by horizontal ruled lines. The upper border is adorned with a row of decorative crescents or pellets. The design follows the Mughal coinage tradition, with the name and titles of the nominal sovereign Shah Alam II inscribed prominently. No sword appears on this type, as noted by the distinguishing absence of that device. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing multi-line Persian/Urdu inscriptions in Nastaliq script within a rectangular cartouche defined by horizontal ruled lines, containing the regnal year and mint name in the Mughal coinage style. A bow and arrow device, the distinguishing symbol of the Gwalior Maratha rulers, appears as a mintmark or privy mark within the field. The overall design closely follows the Mughal rupee format standard to Gwalior feudatory issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II was the Mughal emperor in whose name dozens of princely states continued striking coins long after the empire had effectively ceased to function — in Gwalior's case, under the Scindia dynasty, whose founder Mahadji Scindia had at one point held Shah Alam virtually as a political ward following the emperor's blinding in 1788. Jiyaji Rao Scindia's use of the imperial name on this issue was legal fiction by 1810, a formality that helped legitimize Maratha authority through Mughal symbolism at a moment when British paramountcy was rapidly foreclosing on both.
