Comment
The coin is in the name of Bahadur Shah II from AH 1268 RY 8. However the AH and the RY does not match with each otherInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Ahmad Shah Bahadur 1268 (1852) 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Jaipur is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for circulation coins at that time. This decision to use silver was likely made to commemorate the occasion of Ahmad Shah Bahadur's accession to the throne, and it adds an extra layer of historical and numismatic significance to the coin.
