Comment
From 1754 (AH1168/RY#1 of Alamgir II) until 1798 (AH1212/RY#40 of Shah Alam II) Sironj was held by IndoreInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alamgir II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, and it features his name and title on one side, while the other side features the name of the mint city, Sironj, and the year of issue in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare example of a silver rupee issued by a princely state during the Mughal era and is highly sought after by collectors.
