Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin of Alamgir II from the Maratha Empire (Indian states) was made of silver and weighed 11.21 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's weight was slightly heavier than the standard weight for a rupee coin at that time, which was 10.82 grams. This suggests that the coin may have been minted with a higher purity of silver or had a slightly larger diameter than other rupee coins of the time.
