Silver
Shah Alam II (1759-1806 AD), silver rupee with pseudo mint-name Dar ul-Khilafat Shahjahanabad, 'Sahib-Qiran' couplet with Devanagari word 'Ram' inscribed in the second line on obverse, word ‘Hami’ as divider, RY 35, 10.76g.
Extremely fine, Very rare.
The inclusion of the word 'Ram' is plausible that it must have been a Hindu polity. Possible contenders are the Jats, the Ahirs and the Rajputs. Most likely, the coin is issued by a chieftain, assuming coining rights in the turbulent last decade of the 17th century, in the vicinity of Delhi. The coin is yet another example of the complicated yet amusing and challenging series of issues with pseudo mint-name 'Shahjahanabad'.
