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, which features the emperor's name and title, "Ahmad Shah Bahadur, Khambayat," is a rare example of a coin issued during this period, as many coins from this time were issued in the name of the Mughal Empire rather than the emperor himself.
