Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Muhammad Ali, who was the ruler of the Nawabdom of the Carnatic, a region in southern India, from 1759 to 1794. He was known for his efforts to modernize the region and promote trade, which led to the minting of coins like this one. Despite being made of copper, which was a common metal for coins at the time, this coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance.
