Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real power and influence. He ruled from 1759 to 1806, and during his reign, the Mughal Empire was in decline and faced numerous challenges, including the rise of the British East India Company. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Mughal Empire during this period continued to be minted in the traditional Mughal style, as seen in the design of this ½ Paisa coin.
