Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ahmad Shah Bahadur, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1748 to 1754. The coin features the emperor's name and title in Persian script on one side, and a stylized flower motif on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during the Mughal era, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage throughout the empire.
