† Coins of India. Princely States. B engal Nawabs, Silver Rupee, in the name of ‘Alamgir II, ‘Alinagar, AH (11)69 Year 3 (see Stevens pp.1-2; and ONS 160, p.23). Good very fine, toned and of the highest rarity, possibly the only known exam ple. Part of the David Fore Collection of British Indian Coins. In 1756, the Nawab of Bengal, Siraj al-Daula, who had succeeded his grandfather in April of that year attacked and captured Calcutta on 19 June. He renamed the city: ‘Alinagar and proceeded to strike coins with that mintname in the name of the Mughal emperor, ‘Alamgir II. This coin, is dated AH 1169, which ended on 25 September 1756 and thus must have been struck sometime between the capture of the city and that date. The British recaptured the city on 2 January 1757. It is not know whether this coin issue was actually struck in Calcutta or in the Nawab’s capital, Murshidabad, where the coin dies may well have been prepared in any case. Wherever it was actually struck, this coin is of great historical interest bearing witness as it does to a brief period during which occurred the infamous incident of the “Black Hole of Calcutta”. £4000-6000
