Interesting 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 avoiding human images on coins. This coin features a portrait of Muhammad Shah, the Mughal emperor who ruled from 1741 to 1748, and was minted in Jaipur, which was one of the major centers of coin production during the Mughal era.
