Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin of Akbar (Tatta) ND (1556-1605) from the Mughal Empire (India) made of Silver weighing 11.37g was one of the first coins to feature the image of a ruler, in this case, Akbar, on the obverse side. This was a departure from the earlier coins of the Mughal Empire, which featured only Islamic calligraphy and motifs. This change in design marked a significant shift in the representation of power and authority in the Mughal Empire, and paved the way for future coins to feature the images of rulers.
