Comment
Ruler: FarrukhsiyarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Farrukhsiyar (Toragal) ND (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 coin that was more durable and valuable. The use of silver in the coin also reflects the growing influence of European trade and commerce on the Mughal Empire during this period.
