Bruun in RIC VII was published first by Gnecchi, Medaglioni 1, 22, 70: the only known specimen lays in the trays of the Royal Coin Cabinet in Copenhagen and is in rather bad shape, due to mounting. Bruun was therefore not sure, if the scepter on the rev. ends with an eagle or not. Our trial piece answers this question definitively.

Dar al-Zafar Zebabad, year 45. Extremely rare. Very fine $ 12.000,- Begum Somru was a most remarkable women in the latter part of Mughal India. For almost 60 years she controlled a good deal of land in the Doab and maintained her own army. Born around 1751 and given the name, Munni, her early life is rather obscure. Moving to Delhi around 1760 with her mother, she entered the service of a German metcenary soldier named Walter Reinhardt. Reinhardt had previously served the French in India and had earned the nickname Le Sombre because of his severe nature. It is said that this nickname became corrupted to Somru. Over the years, Reinhardt, latterly with the forces he raised himself, served a whole range of different armies in India, particularly that of the Mughal emperor. Munni accompanied Reinhardt on his campaigns and they married in due course. Around the year 1777, the emperor granted Reinhardt a jagir in the Doab, which extended ftom Aligarh to beyond Muzaffarnagar. Within this territory, Reinhardt chose Sardhana for his and his army’s headquarters. Reinhardt did not live long to enjoy his jagir, dying the tollowing year. Munni, now known as the Begum Somru, soon emerged as the rightful ruler of Reinhardt’s territory, this succession being confirmed by the emperor, Shah Alam II. Then things became complicated. The Begum needed a suitable officer to command her troops. Various Europeans entered her service, including for a while George Thomas. To command the troops, however, she appointed a certain Le Vaisseau. Presumably to consolidate his position he proposed marriage to the Begum, which was accepted. At this, Thomas lett the Begum’s service to set up his own army elsewhere. Le Vaisseau’s appointment was a mistake. Discipline in her army broke down to such an extent that the Begum and her husband planned to retire from their estates and seek refuge in the East India Company’s territories. Her soldiers got wind of these plans and intercepted the couple on the road from Sardhana. Concerned at the treatment she would receive she attempted to commit suicide. Thinking she had succeeded, Le Vaisseau shot himself dead. The Begum, however, had been less successful and was taken wounded to Sardhana, where she was maltreated. At this juncture, George Thomas came to the rescue. He must have heard of the Begum’s plight and moved towards Sardhana with some of his troops. With the approval of the local Maratha chiefs, who were now in overall command of the Doab, he issued the Begum’s troops a stern ultimatum, which they heeded. The Begum was duly reinstated in her jagir, the officers and troops promised to behave themselves, and a new commander of her army was appointed in the form of a Monsieur Saleur. After the Second Maratha Wat, the Doab came under British administration. In 1805, the Begum entered into an alliance with them and remained in her territories as a British vassal until her death in 1836. The rupee offered here is one of an extremely rare issue first published by Whitehead in the Namusmatic Chronicle {1926}. It is in the name of the Mughal emperor, Shah Alam UH, is dated to the 45th regnal year of that ruler and bears the mintname: Dar al-Zatar Zebabad. It shows only the first two digits of the Hijri year: 12xx, but a specimen in the British Museum has the date 1218. White head stated that “this issue was struck at Sardhana in the Meerut District in the year of Lord Lake’s victory of Delhi by the Begum Sumru Zebu-n-nisa, Begum”. The Hijri year 1218 did start in April of 1803, the year the British occupied the Doab. Begum Somru was given the title, Zabu-n-Nisa, by the Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II. This would account for the mintname Zebabad, which, it is assumed, was given to the Begum’s capital of Sardhana. To own this coin is to own a fascinating piece of history.
