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 Shahjahanabad (now known as Old Delhi) between 1748 and 1754, and it features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Mughal Empire.
