Ruler: Muhammad ShahInteresting 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 practice of avoiding human imagery on coins. This coin features a portrait of Muhammad Shah, also known as Firoz Shah, who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1719 to 1747. The coin's design was influenced by the Persian style of coinage, which was popular during the Mughal period.
