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 at the Sarhind mint, which was one of the four main mints established by the Mughal Empire in India. The coin weighs 11.17 grams and is made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period.
