Marathas – Itāwā Mint, INO Shāh ‘Ālam II – Silver – Type 2

The issues of the Marathas, struck whilst they were in occupation of Itawa, consists entirely of rupees in the usual Mughal style. The occupation by the Marathas commenced about 1752. The Maratha rupees in the name of Shah Alam II ceased after 1761 when they were driven out from Itawa by the Rohillas. But the Marathas were able to reoccupy the city again and resumed the coins in 1771 (regnal year 12). Their final issue lasted only until 1774 (regnal year 16), when they were finally ejected by the Nawab of Awadh and the Rohillas. There is nothing distinctive about the various issues of the Rohillas and the Marathas except for the dates and the various symbols that appear on these coins.(comment from Marudhar Arts)
