| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing bold Nasta'liq Arabic script arranged in three registers across the field. The central legend reads 'Shah Alam' with the Hijri regnal year inscribed above, identifying the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II as the nominal sovereign. The inscriptions are characteristic of late Mughal coinage conventions, with the calligraphy occupying nearly the full coin surface within a plain circular border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II's name appeared on Maratha-controlled mint output during this period as a political convenience — the Mughal emperor provided legitimacy on the coin's face while real authority rested entirely with Mahadji Scindia. After the catastrophic Maratha defeat at Panipat in January 1761, rebuilding that legitimacy was urgent work, and adopting imperial nomenclature on silver coinage was part of it. The Gwalior mint had come under Scindia control in the 1750s and remained a key instrument of Maratha fiscal administration throughout this transitional decade.
