Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Azid-al-Din Alamgir II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to issue coins in his own name. This coin was minted in 1167-1173 AH (1754-1760 AD) and features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Mughal Empire at that time.
