Description
Mughal Empire, Alamgir II(c. 1754-1759CE), Gold 1/2 Pagoda, 1.70grms, Minted at Imtiyazgarh, Extra Fine, Very Rare. Alamgir II ruled during a period of declining central authority. This coin reflects a symbolic assertion of sovereignty in central India. While his military and political control was weak, the mint demonstrates continued imperial oversight over local trade and revenue. The coinage indicates an effort to maintain legitimacy and imperial presence, even as the Marathas and regional powers gained influence. Alamgir II’s influence in Imtiyazgarh was largely ceremonial, representing nominal authority rather than direct administrative or military dominance.
