India Diamond CutInteresting fact
The 1 Rupee coin minted during Muhammad Akbar's reign (1602-1603) was part of a significant monetary reform that took place during his rule. Akbar introduced a new currency system that replaced the old system of cowry shells and introduced coins made of precious metals like silver and gold. This reform helped to streamline trade and commerce across the Mughal Empire, which at that time was one of the largest and most powerful empires in the world.
