Comment
Coins dated after AH1233 are struck in Mahmud's name by the virtually independent Nawabs of Bahawalpur. Weight varies: 11.00-11.20 grams. Size varies.Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Afghanistan, issued during the reign of Mahmud Shah (Bahawalpur) from 1809-1835, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material for coinage at the time.
