Ruler: Aurangzeb AlamgirInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aurangzeb, who was the last powerful emperor of the Mughal Empire. He ruled from 1658 to 1707 and his reign saw the peak of the empire's power and prosperity. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic influences of the time, with the obverse featuring the name of the emperor and the reverse featuring a stylized flower and the date of issue. Despite being made of silver, the coin's value was not based on its metal content but rather on its face value, which was set by the government. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mughal Empire and its influence on the Indian subcontinent.
