Various Weight StandardsInteresting 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 century. The coin features the name of the ruler and the date of issue in both the Islamic calendar (1193-1219) and the Gregorian calendar (1779-1805), reflecting the blending of Islamic and Western influences in the region at that time.
