Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Jahan Begum, who was the first female ruler of the Princely state of Bhopal and one of the few female rulers in Indian history. She ruled from 1876 to 1888 and her reign was marked by several progressive reforms, including the establishment of a girls' school and a hospital. The coin is a symbol of her reign and the history of the Princely state of Bhopal.
