Interesting 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 was known for his religious intolerance and his efforts to impose Islam on his subjects, which led to the persecution of Hindus and other religious minorities. Despite this, his coinage still holds historical significance and value for collectors today.
