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 rule was also marked by controversy and conflict, including the execution of his own son and the imprisonment of his daughter. This coin, which bears his name and title, serves as a tangible reminder of the complex history of the Mughal Empire during his reign.
