Weight varies 11.00-11.60 grams.Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was made of silver and weighed 11.4 grams. It's interesting to note that the weight of the coin was significantly higher than the weight of the modern-day Indian rupee coin, which is made of a combination of copper, nickel, and zinc and weighs only 2.8 grams. This shows how the value and composition of currency can change over time due to various economic and historical factors.
