Shailen Bhandare commented: The copper coin must be a Fulus of Parenda mint in the name of Shāh ‘Ālam I. Although this could well be unpublished and the mint-name off the reverse, I arrived at this attribution for two reasons:

1. Marks similar to the flower seen below 'Julus' are regularly found on Parenda rupees and paisas of other rulers

2. The very peculiar obverse legend arrangement - which reads 'Sikka (mubarak) Shāh ‘Ālam Badshah' - is seen on some copper issues of Bahadurgarh mint bearing the names of Shāh ‘Ālam I.

Copper coins of Jahandar Shah struck at that mint also show a similar 'hand' at work. I think these are not published in detail, too.
