| Descripción del anverso | Hammered silver flan bearing bold Arabic calligraphic legend arranged in two lines across the central field, reading the royal epithet and title of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The inscription is framed by a dotted border with floral or foliate ornamental devices visible at the periphery, characteristic of late Mughal and Maratha-issued rupees struck in his name. The script is rendered in a cursive Naskh style typical of 18th-century Indian mint production. The flan shows slight irregularity consistent with hand-hammered manufacture, with the legend partially weak at the edges due to uneven striking. |

| Descripción del reverso | The reverse field carries a multi-line Arabic inscription in bold cursive Naskh script, incorporating the mint name Vaphgaon (وپفگاون) and the julus (accession) formula denoting the auspicious reign year. Foliate or floral ornaments punctuate the margins, and scattered pellets appear in the field, consistent with the decorative vocabulary of Maratha-issued Mughal-style rupees. The legend references the auspiciousness of the emperor's accession, following the standard formula used at subsidiary Maratha mints issuing coinage in Shah Alam II's name. The strike is typically irregular, with portions of the legend showing weakness at the coin's edge. The overall style reflects the regional adaptation of Mughal coinage conventions at the Vaphgaon mint. |

| Información adicional |
Shah Alam II was a Mughal emperor in name only for much of his reign — blind, pensioned, and controlled in succession by the Marathas, the Rohillas, and finally the British after 1803. The Marathas issued rupees in his name as a political convenience, lending Mughal legitimacy to their own authority across territories where that name still carried weight with local populations. Vaphgaon was one of several minor Maratha-controlled mints operating under this fiction.
The 47-year span of this type reflects not continuity of rule but the stubborn persistence of a useful fiction.
