Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Akbar II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real power. He ruled from 1806 to 1836, and during his reign, the Mughal Empire was in decline and faced numerous challenges, including the rise of the British East India Company. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Princely state of Jaipur, where this coin was minted, remained a symbol of the rich cultural and economic heritage of the region.
