Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Akbar II, who was the last ruler of the Scindia dynasty and the Princely state of Gwalior. Despite being a princely state, Gwalior was known for its strong military and economic power, and its rulers played a significant role in the history of India. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the region during that time.
