| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a diagonal sabre or sword traversing the flan horizontally, with a six-pointed star and an eight-pointed star visible in the lower portion of the field. A crescent or curved device appears in the upper register above the blade. The design elements are characteristic of the Maratha Gwalior state coinage under Mahadaji Shinde, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of late 18th-century Indian copper issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mahadaji Shinde — Scindia — was at the height of his political power in 1783, having recently reasserted Maratha dominance in northern India and taken effective control of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II as a dependent. Coins struck under his authority at Gwalior during this period reflect that ambiguity: nominally issued within a Mughal framework, yet products of a Maratha warlord who held more real power than the emperor whose formulas still echoed in the calligraphy.
Gwalior's copper issues of this period are frequently found poorly centered, a consequence of small local workshops operating without the infrastructural discipline of imperial mints.
