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 Durrani Empire (also known as the Afghan Empire) from 1816 to 1818. The Durrani Empire was a powerful empire that stretched from present-day Afghanistan to parts of Pakistan, Iran, and Central Asia. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the region during that time period.
