Comment
Ruler: Ahmad Shah BahadurInteresting 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, which was minted in the year 1164 of the Islamic calendar (1748-1754 CE), features the emperor's name and title in Persian script on one side, and a stylized flower motif on the other. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 11.30 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value from the same period. This may have been due to a shortage of silver or other economic factors at the time.
