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 military campaigns and his efforts to impose Islamic law throughout his kingdom, which led to the persecution of non-Muslims. Despite this, his coinage still bears the image of Lord Vishnu, indicating the religious diversity of the time.
