| Additional information |
Tasgaon was a minor mint town in the Deccan under Patwardhan control — a Brahmin military family who rose through Peshwa service and held semi-autonomous authority over their assigned territories. Coins struck here in Shah Alam II's name were a political fiction maintained long after the Mughal emperor had ceased to exercise any real power, a convention the Marathas preserved because Mughal nominal suzerainty still conferred legitimacy in the eyes of local populations and rival powers alike. The practice outlasted any practical necessity by decades.
