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 minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was issued by the Indore-Sironj Feudatory, which was a princely state of Indore. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a vassal state of the Mughal Empire, and it highlights the complex political dynamics of the time.
