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 1876 to 1903. He was known for his efforts to modernize and develop the state, and this coin reflects that effort, as it was made of gold and had a standardized design and weight, which was unusual for coins minted during that time period.
