The Sikh khanda symbol consists of a double-edged sword encircled by a chakram and flanked by two additional swords. Although the Mughals in the Punjab were in retreat from Sikh forces in late 1710, they still held the city of Lahore. As the city remained in imperial hands until 1758, the presence of the khanda on these rupees remains an enigma.
