Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mir Mahbub Ali Khan II, who was the Nizam of Hyderabad from 1907 to 1911. The coin features the Nizam's name and title in Urdu script on one side, and the other side features the denomination and the year of minting in the Islamic calendar. The use of the Islamic calendar on the coin reflects the strong Islamic influence in the Princely state of Hyderabad during that time.
