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.
