Gwalior State, INO Shah Alam II, Silver Rupee, 11.38 gms, Shahjahanpur Mint, RY 15, Trident Mark on reverse, Unlisted, extremely fine, extremely rare. Note: This silver coin, minted in 1775 CE, dates to a turbulent era of shifting political suzerainty when the Gwalior region fell under the hegemony of the Rohilla Chieftain (Sardar) Dundi Khan Shahjahanpuri. Following the decisive Battle of Miranpur Katra, the territory was subsequently annexed by Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab Vizier of Awadh. While this numismatic issue could be attributed to either of these competing factions, the strategic incorporation of a Trishul (trident) as a mint mark strongly implies an Awadh provenance. Concurrently, historical continuity suggests that the "Shahjahanpur" cited in regional chronicles may correspond to modern-day Shajapur in central Madhya Pradesh. Founded and named in honour of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan following his imperial encampment there in 1640 CE, the toponym was eventually abbreviated to Shajapur. During the late 18th century, this enclave was under the administrative jurisdiction of the Gwalior State, making it highly plausible that a Maratha-controlled mint was operational there in 1775 CE. Consequently, this coin survives as a compelling artifact from a highly contested and fractured chapter of early modern Indian history.
