Comment
Similar to KM#98 but Rectangular in shape (Fish out of flan)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the ruler of the Awadh region in India during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in both the Islamic and Gregorian calendars, reflecting the blending of cultures and traditions that was characteristic of the Indian princely states during this time.
