Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee coin of Islam Shah Suri (1545-1549) from the Sur Empire (Indian Sultanates) is that it was made of silver and weighed 11 grams. This is notable because it was a significant departure from the previous coins issued by the Sur Empire, which were typically made of copper or billon (a mixture of copper and silver). The use of silver in the 1 Rupee coin reflects the economic prosperity and political stability of the Sur Empire during Islam Shah Suri's reign.
