Comment
Ruler: Daulat Rao AH 1209-1243 / 1794-1827 ADShrimant Daulat Rao Sindhia (1779 – 21 March 1827) was the king (Maharaja) of Gwalior state in central India from 1794 until his death in 1827. His reign coincided with struggles for supremacy within the Maratha Confederacy, and with Maratha resistance to the consolidation of British hegemony over northern and central India in the early 19th century.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Daulat Rao Scindia and Muhammad Akbar II, who were the rulers of the Princely state of Gwalior in India during the 19th century. The coin features the names of both rulers, which is a unique feature as most coins of that time only featured the name of one ruler. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a period of co-rule, which makes it a valuable piece for collectors.
