Weight varies between 11 - 11.6 gramsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Farrukhsiyar (Surat) 1125-1131 (1713-1719) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coins of the Mughal Empire, which were made of copper. This change in material was likely due to the scarcity of copper at the time and the desire to create a more valuable and durable coin. The use of silver also gave the coin a higher perceived value and helped to stabilize the currency.
