Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Dam coin from the Mughal Empire (India) made of Copper weighing 12.1 g is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Jahandar Shah, who ruled the empire for a brief period of 1712-1713. Despite his short reign, he was known for his efforts to reform the currency and monetary system of the empire, which led to the introduction of new coinage like this ½ Dam coin.
