ROHILKHAND: AR rupee (10.78g), year 35, KM--, in the name of Shah Alam II, Nagari ram in obverse field, with his obverse legend sahib qirani, as introduced at Shahjahanabad (Delhi) in AH1202 and used until the end of his reign in 1221, choice VF, RR. The attribution to the Rohilkhand is tentative, and it may have been issued by supporters of the Nawab of Awadh or some local officials who feared inscribing the coin with the actual mint name. It is possible that "Ram" refers to the city of Rampur, about 60 miles due east of Delhi and the last holdout of the Rohilla Khans (until about 1860), A similar examples sold at Stephen Album Auction 21, Lot 1294, for $300.

Estimate: 200-300 USD
