Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alamgir II, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1754 to 1759, and again from 1760 to 1788. During his reign, the Mughal Empire was facing challenges from the British East India Company, which was expanding its influence in India. The coin was minted in Bombay Presidency, which was a British territory at the time, and it features the image of Alamgir II on one side and the British East India Company's logo on the other. This coin is a rare example of the coins that were minted during this period of British-Mughal relations and is highly sought after by collectors.
