Ruler: Aurangzeb AlamgirInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Aurangzeb, who was the last great Mughal emperor and known for his religious tolerance and interest in arts and architecture. Despite his many achievements, Aurangzeb's rule was also marked by controversy and conflict, including the destruction of Hindu temples and the execution of his own son. This coin, which bears his name and image, serves as a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of Indian history during the Mughal period.
