Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor and ruled from 1759 to 1806. Despite being the last emperor, he was unable to regain the power and prestige of the Mughal Empire, which had been declining for many years prior to his reign. This coin, issued in 1810, was a attempt to stabilize the economy and maintain the power of the princely state of Gwalior, but ultimately it was not successful and the Mughal Empire continued to decline.
