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 restore its power and prosperity, which had begun to decline in the late 17th century. Despite his efforts, the empire continued to face challenges and eventually declined in the 18th century. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Mughal Empire, which played a significant role in shaping the modern Indian subcontinent.
