Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad Shah Bahadur, who was the last Mughal Emperor to issue coins in his own name. This coin was minted in Allahabad, which was one of the main minting centers of the Mughal Empire at that time. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 10.40 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value from the same period. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and was not meant to be a high-value or ceremonial coin.
