<h6>Note: This silver rupee coin belongs to the historically significant “Chalnee” series&nbsp;-local rupees struck under the nominal authority of the&nbsp;Nizams of Hyderabad. The&nbsp;Medak Mint, though minor, held considerable regional importance as a&nbsp;Hindu Samsthana (vassal state)&nbsp;governed by a&nbsp;Zamindar Raja. <o:p></o:p></h6>During the&nbsp;mid-18th century, Raja&nbsp;Sadasiva Reddy, the ruler of Medak, leased control of the town to the French General&nbsp;Monsieur Raymond, a prominent figure in the Deccan who played a crucial role in the&nbsp;Hyderabad succession crisis&nbsp;following the death of&nbsp;Asaf Jah I in 1749. Under Raymond’s administration — which lasted until his death in&nbsp;1798-coins like this rupee were struck in the name of&nbsp;Mughal Emperor Alamgir II, symbolizing both&nbsp;loyalty to the Mughal throne&nbsp;and the&nbsp;semi-autonomous power&nbsp;exercised by local and foreign forces in the Deccan.<o:p></o:p>A rare survivor from a&nbsp;transitional era of hybrid Indo-European governance, this coin reflects the&nbsp;political, military, and monetary complexity&nbsp;of the late Mughal Deccan- a period when French influence briefly intertwined with Hyderabad’s feudal structure.
