Comment
Ruler: Dulep SinghInteresting 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 and ruled from 1759 to 1806. The coin was minted in 1821, which was after the death of Shah Alam II, but it still bears his name and image. This suggests that the coin was minted as a tribute or commemoration of the emperor, rather than as a circulating currency. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 2.65 grams suggests that it was a valuable coin at the time of its minting.
