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, as well as significant cultural and architectural achievements. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Islamic influences of the time, with the obverse featuring the name of the emperor and the reverse bearing a Quranic inscription. Despite being made of silver, the coin's value was not based on its metal content but rather on its official value as a medium of exchange, which was set by the government. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mughal Empire, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
