Ruler: Jahandar ShahInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Jahandar Shah, who was the son of Aurangzeb and the last Mughal Emperor to issue coins in his own name. This coin was minted in Surat, which was an important port city and trading center during the Mughal period. The coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and Hindu motifs, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Mughal Empire. Additionally, the use of silver as the material for the coin speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during the time period.
