| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse bears the standard Mughal-style 'haft kishwar' (seven climes) couplet inscribed in Nastaliq Arabic script, arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line across the field. The upper register contains the opening words of the imperial legend, while the lower register carries the continuation of the royal titulature of Shah Alam II. Pellet ornaments and floral scroll devices fill the field around the script. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of hand-struck hammered coinage of the late Mughal period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II presents one of the more complicated attribution problems in late Mughal coinage — deposed, restored, blinded by Ghulam Qadir in 1788, and variously under Maratha then British protection, he reigned in name for nearly half a century while actual power shifted repeatedly beneath him. Rohilkhand's use of his regnal titles at Najibabad reflects the political necessity of Mughal legitimacy even as the empire itself had ceased to function. The Najibabad mint operated under Rohilla Afghan control, and its output during this period served a regional economy increasingly disrupted by Maratha incursions and eventual British annexation in 1801.
