Comment
This coin is attributed as Awadh Rupee INO Muhammad Shah on zeno.ru #107363. I got one identical today.Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah (Kora) rupee coin was the first rupee coin to feature the name of the mint city, "Delhi", on its reverse side. This was a significant change from previous rupee coins, which had only featured the name of the ruler or the year of issue. This change in design marked a new era in Mughal coinage and paved the way for future rupee coins to feature the name of the mint city.
