† Coins of India. Princely States. Gwalior, Silver Rupee, in the name of Shah ‘Alam II, Gwalior Fort, AH 1218 Year 46, mintmark is European-style straight sword with decorative hilt.Very fine and very scarce. Gwalior Fort was occupied by the British from November 1802 to November 1804. This Rupee is dated AH 1218/46 of Shah Alam, like the specimen published by Barry Tabor in JONS 196 (p.32). The year 1218, ran from the end of July 1803 to April 1804. Only a small part of the mintname is visible on this coin but stylistically this issue, apart from the European-style sword, is very much like other Rupees of this period from Gwalior Fort mint. This type of sword, known only on Rupees of this particular date, could, therefore, well be a symbol of the British occupation. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. £100-150
