One interesting fact about the Ahmad Shah Bahadur (Arcot) 1 Rupee coin is that it was minted during the brief period of French rule in India, specifically in the region of Arcot, which is now part of Tamil Nadu. The coin features the image of Ahmad Shah Bahadur, the Mughal Emperor, and the inscription "Ahmad Shah Bahadur, Badshah" in Urdu. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its unique history and provenance make it an interesting piece of Indian numismatic history.
