Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was actually issued by the French East India Company in Surat, which was a French colony in India. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted by a European power in India during the 19th century.
