Comment
Muzaffargarh local governor issue. Some sellers incorrectly attribute this as an issue of Khetri (Jaipur feudatory state). See Zeno#115198 for more details.Ref.: ONS-NL no. 149 (Summer 1996) Hans Herrli, The late Mughal mint of Muzaffargarh. pp.14-17.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Akbar II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to issue coins in his own name. This coin was minted in Muzaffargarh, which was one of the four main mints established by Akbar II during his reign. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs less than 11 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value from the same period.
