Comment
Issued by the Imtiazgarh mint in the state of Hyderabad. Some of these coins were issued posthumously, showing dates after Alamgir's assassination in 1173AH.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pagoda coin from the Mughal Empire is that it was made of gold and weighed 3.32 grams. This indicates that the coin was made of a high-value material and was likely used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the fact that it was widely circulated suggests that it was an important part of the economy during that time period.
