Description

Rohilkhand, Hafiz Rahmat Khan (A.H. 1167-1188, A.D. 1754-1777), in name of Shah Alam II, (A.H. 1173-1221, A.D. 1759-1806), Muradabad mint, rupee, obverse no A.H. date [1174-5], with regal year 2, (cf.KM.76.1). Nearly very fine and very rare, unpublished.

Ex Robert Senior by private purchase. The mint reading which is very clear has also been tentatively suggested to be Mustafabad. The design and particularly the obverse legend differs very significantly from the year 2 illustrated in Krause, by having three dots instead of anchor and no trefoil on the obverse.
