PS, Gwalior, Silver Rupee, 11.50g, Shahjahanpur Mint, in the name of Shah Alam II, RY 1(8)

PS, Gwalior, Silver Rupee, 11.50g, Shahjahanpur Mint, in the name of Shah Alam II, RY 1(8), Trishul as a mint mark. Very fine, rare. Shahjahanpur is presently known as “Shajapur” and is located in central Madhya Pradesh. There is also a Shahjahanpur in UP and could have been a contender for identifying this mint as a Rohila issue but the style, date and mint mark on this coin make it certain that it is struck under Gwalior at Shajapur in Malwa.
