Bengal Presidency, Silver Nazarana Rupee in the name of Shah Alam II, AH 1218/RY 46, Similar to Mohur illustrated by Stevens-Bengal, p. 430, no. 8.20, 11.26g.
Nice Toned, Extremely Fine, Extremely Rare.
The coin is struck early during the British occupation of Delhi following Lord Lake's campaigns against the Marathas and their allies in North India (known as the Second Anglo-Maratha War). It carries an interesting mark of a 'tree' on obverse, next to the royal 'umbrella' symbol which distinguishes it. Stevens lists a die-identical Mohur of the same issue but the Rupee is not listed in his book.
