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's currency and monetary system, which had been in disarray for many years. The 1 Rupee coin was one of the new coinage introduced during his reign, and it was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous coins that were made of copper. This change in material was done to address the issue of inflation and to stabilize the currency.
