| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse of this hammered rupee displays two registers of Arabic Nasta'liq legend divided by a horizontal line, containing the mint name Burhanpur (دار الأمن برهانپور) and additional regnal information. A small floral sprig ornament is visible in the lower register field, a typical feature of Burhanpur mint issues. The legends are boldly struck with characteristic provincial Mughal calligraphic style, consistent with Gwalior-supervised issues of the late eighteenth century. |

Mahadji Scindia's resurgence after the Maratha defeat at Panipat in 1761 — and his subsequent dominance of Mughal court politics — gave Gwalior's coinage an unusual character: these rupees were struck in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, a ruler Mahadji effectively held as a protectorate from 1784 onward. The fiction of imperial Mughal authority served a practical purpose, ensuring the coins circulated without challenge across territories that still recognized Mughal legitimacy.
Burhanpur, a former Mughal provincial mint town in the Deccan, had a long minting history stretching back to Akbar's reign.
