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 late 18th and early 19th centuries. The coin features an inscription in Urdu, which was the official language of the Awadh court at the time. The inscription includes the name of the ruler, the date of issue, and the mint location, which in this case is Najibabad. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during this period in Indian history.
