Comment
The sequence of regnal years at Kashmir is very confused.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud Shah, who was the ruler of the Kashmir region in the early 19th century. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Mahmud Shah, King of Kashmir" and is decorated with intricate floral patterns. Despite being made of silver, the coin has a relatively low weight of 10.70 grams, which was a common feature of coins issued during this period. Overall, this coin is a unique piece of history that offers a glimpse into the monetary system and artistic styles of the region during that time.
