Badr-e-Munir Couplet
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aurangzeb, who was the last great Mughal emperor and known for his religious tolerance and patronage of the arts. Despite his many achievements, Aurangzeb's reign was also marked by controversy, including the destruction of Hindu temples and the imposition of harsh taxes. This coin, which features an inscription in Persian and a unique design, is a rare and valuable artifact from this pivotal period in Indian history.
