Shahjahanabad, Gold Mohur, 10.91g, in the name of Alamgir II, AH (11)70/ RY 4, Obv: Persian couplet “Sikka zad bar Haft Kishwar Hamchu Taban Mihr wa Mah / Shah Aziz ud din Alamgir Ghazi Badshah”, Rev: Mint name with epithet in a single line in centre in usual ‘Julus’ formula, with invocation “Khallada Allah Mulkahu wa Saltanahu” in the top line (KM# 466.1). Extremely fine+, exceedingly rare.
In the Spring of 1757 (AH1170), North India witnessed the fourth invasion of Ahmad Shah Durrani, who sacked Delhi and appointed Najib Khan as his chief plenipotentiary. Imad ul-Mulk, the wazir resented these developments and asked the Marathas to intervene. Raghunath Rao led the campaign and attacked Delhi on 11 August 1757. The Maratha occupation lasted till October 1757 but they were in charge till 1758, when ultimately, they retreated under the threat of another impeding Afghan invasion.
The coin above conforms to the type of Alamgir II’s coins when the Marathas occupied Delhi. This type continues through RYs 5 and 6, but most peculiarly some coins with these RYs show a marked degradation in the execution of the legends. As such, these coins are likely to be the products of a non-‘Mughal’ mint and the Marathas would be the only contenders for their issue; however direct proof of their involvement in the issue of these coins is lacking.
