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 ruled from 1658 to 1707 and his reign saw the expansion of the empire's territories, the development of art, architecture, and literature, and the establishment of a centralized administrative system. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity.
