Comment
Ruler: Mahadji RaoInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was actually minted by the Princely state of Gwalior, which was a vassal state of the Mughal Empire. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued by a princely state during the Mughal period, and it highlights the complex political and economic relationships between the Mughal Empire and its vassal states.
