Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah (Katak) Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was made of silver and weighed 11.22 grams. It's interesting to note that the weight of the coin was slightly irregular, as it was supposed to be 11.25 grams, but the minting process was not always precise, resulting in slight variations in weight. Despite this, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency during its time.
