Previous C#46a.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Nazarana Rupee - Shah Alam II (Arcot) 1178-1233 (1765-1818) from Arcot (French India) made of Silver weighing 11.4 g is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1765 to 1818. This coin was part of the currency system introduced by the French East India Company in the region of Arcot, which was under their control at the time. The coin's design features the image of Shah Alam II on one side and the French East India Company's logo on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Indian currency and the French East India Company's influence in India.
