Weight varies between 11 - 11.6 gramsInteresting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee, issued during the Mughal Empire in India, was one of the first coins to feature the image of a ruler, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic prohibition on depicting human figures. This coin features a portrait of Muhammad Shah, also known as Akbar II, who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1719 to 1747. The coin's design was influenced by European coinage and marked a shift towards more secular imagery in Mughal coinage.
