Malhar Rao Holkar, Silver Rupee, 11.40g, in the name of Alamgir II, RY AH 116(8)/ RY Ahad.

Malhar Rao Holkar, Silver Rupee, 11.40g, in the name of Alamgir II, RY AH 116(8)/ RY Ahad. Complete mint name on bottom of reverse. Extremely rare. This is first ever coin of Malharnagar mint to have come to light in the name of Alamgir II, where the full name of the emperor ‘Aziz al-din Alamgir Thani’ is inscribed on the obverse. All other known coins only have ‘Alamgir’. Since they are also known from RY Ahd onwards, this must have been a very short run issue. ‘Malharnagar’ was named as such after the name of Malhar Rao, the founder of the Holkar State and a valiant Maratha general.
