Previous KM#34.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Alamgir II, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1754 to 1759. The coin was minted in Arcot, which was a region in southern India that was under French colonial rule at the time. The fact that the coin was made of silver and weighs 2.8 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination for its time and was likely used for large transactions. Additionally, the coin's design may feature symbols or inscriptions that reflect the cultural and religious influences of the region, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
