Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the last Mughal Emperor to have any real authority, and it features an inscription in Persian that reads "Daulat Rao, Shah Alam II, 11.34 g, Gwalior". This inscription not only identifies the ruler and the weight of the coin but also highlights the connection between the Mughal Empire and the Princely state of Gwalior.
