Shah Alam II (1759-1806 AD), Silver Rupee, Shahjahanabad Mint, AH 1(2)xx/RY 35, with Nagari Ram inscribed on obverse, 11.04g.
About Extremely Fine, Very Rare.
An interesting variety among several coins with pseudo-mintname 'Dar al-Khilafat Shahjahanabad' – it is evidently not a Mughal issue as it lacks the 'Umbrella' symbol on the obverse. Which political authority struck it is difficult to ascertain but given its 11 gm weight it is likely that one of Rajput states in the vicinity of Delhi (like the Thikanas of Alwar and Jaipur) or a local Zamindar in the region South/South-West of Delhi might have been responsible.
