Ruler: Muhammad ShahInteresting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was one of the first coins to feature the image of a ruler, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic practice of not depicting human figures on coins. This coin features a portrait of Muhammad Shah, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
