Comment
Large flan type.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Jahan Begam, who was the first female ruler of the Princely state of Bhopal, and one of the few female rulers in Indian history. She ruled from 1886 to 1892, and her reign was marked by several progressive reforms, including the establishment of a girls' school and a hospital. The coin is a symbol of her reign and the history of the Princely state of Bhopal.
