Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alamgir II, who was the last ruler of the Maratha Empire. Despite being made of silver, this coin was not widely accepted as a mode of payment, and its value was not consistent across different regions of the empire. This highlights the economic challenges faced by the Maratha Empire during this time period.
