Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Farrukhsiyar, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time. He was known for his efforts to reform the Mughal Empire and improve its economy, which included the introduction of new coinage like this silver rupee. Despite his efforts, the empire continued to decline during his reign, but coins like this remain an important part of Indian history and numismatics.
