Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bahawal Khan IV, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Bahawalpur in British India. The coin was made of silver and weighed 7 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an inscription in Urdu and a portrait of Bahawal Khan IV, which makes it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
