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 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 rule. This coin, minted in 1886, is a rare and valuable piece of Indian numismatic history.
