Comment
Some Years have dotted borderInteresting fact
The Jahangir Rupee, which was issued during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1612-1625), was the first Rupee coin to feature the emperor's name and title on the obverse (front side), along with the date of issue. This was a departure from the earlier Mughal coins, which typically featured only the name of the emperor and the date of issue. The inclusion of the emperor's title on the coin was a significant change, as it reflected the growing importance of the emperor's role in the Mughal Empire.
