Interesting fact
The Jahangir Rupee, which was issued during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (1613-1619), 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 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 development in Mughal numismatics and reflected the growing importance of the emperor's image and authority in Mughal society.
