Ruler: Aziz-ud-din Alamgir IIInteresting fact
The 1 Rupee coin of Alamgir II (Gwalior) minted during the Mughal Empire (India) in 1169-1170 (1756-1757) was made of silver and weighed 11.30 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's weight and composition were consistent with the standardized coinage system introduced by the Mughal Empire during that time, which aimed to establish a uniform currency system across the vast empire. This coin, in particular, was minted in the Gwalior region, which was one of the prominent centers of coin production during the Mughal era.
