Maratha, Silver 1/4 Rupee- Nisar, 2.77g, Dar al-Fateh Ujjain Mint, in the name of Alamgir II, AH 117X/ RY 4, Obv: Persian legend “Nisar Alamgir Shah” and RY, Rev: Mint name with epithet at top and AH year (Unpublished in major sources). About extremely fine, extremely rare. Ujjain became the seat of the Sindhias after Peshwa Baji Rao I divided the province of Malwa between his trusted lieutenants – Udaji Rao Puar (Pawar), Malhar Rao Holkar and Ranoji Sindhia. In 1755, the claimant to the Sindhia domains Jayappa Sindhia was killed in the war of succession for Mewar. His young son Jankoji succeeded him but as he was only ten years old, his uncle Dattaji Sindhia acted as regent. The most important event during the period in which this Nisar was struck, was the Maratha capture of Delhi on 11 August 1757, ousting Najib Khan Rohilla and restoring Imad ul-Mulk as the Wazir. The Sindhia troops played an important part in the battle.
