Comment
Struck during the reign of local ruler Hafiz Rahmat Khan, AH1167-88/1754-74AD.Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Rohilkhand, issued during the reign of Alamgir II (Muradabad) in 1172 (1759), features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's design showcases a combination of arches, domes, and minarets, which reflects the cultural diversity of the region during that time. This coin is a rare example of the syncretic nature of art and architecture in India during the 18th century.
