Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aurangzeb, who was the last powerful Mughal emperor and known for his religious intolerance. Despite this, the coin still features an inscription in Sanskrit, which was a language commonly used in Hinduism, indicating the religious diversity of the time.
