NOTE:                  
                         
* Julus Formula * :   Zerb(mint) sanat RY julus maimanat manus
                                     Struck at (mint) in the (....) year of his reigen
                                     of tranquil prosperity.
* Regal title ** :       Sikka mubarak. Badshah ghazi
                                     Shah Alam
                                     = The auspicious coin of the victorious Emperor
                                     Shah Alam
* Privy Mark no D :   Marks 4 and 4a were used on the two larger
                                                             denominations mohur and panchia.
* Privy Mark no D1:  4a was evidently a die sinkers error resulting in
                                                             the crown appearing inverted.
* Privy Mark no D2:  Mark 4b occurs on the tiny gold rupee.
                                                             A crown punch of the size required for this
                                                             small piece would have resulted in a smudged
                                                             dot, or was not within the capability of the
                                                             engraver. Hence the use of a star mark.
