Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from Bahawalpur is that it was minted during the reign of the second Nawab of Bahawalpur, Sadiq Muhammad Khan II, who ruled from 1806 to 1826. During his reign, the state of Bahawalpur experienced significant economic growth and development, and the minting of coins like the 1 Falus was an important part of this process. The coin's design and production were overseen by the Nawab himself, who took great interest in the minting process and ensured that the coins were of high quality. Today, the 1 Falus coin is a valuable collector's item and a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Princely state of Bahawalpur.
