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 for 23 years and her reign is remembered for various reforms and developments in the state, including the introduction of a new currency system. This coin, which bears her name and image, is a testament to her legacy and an important part of Indian numismatic history.
