Comment
Ruler: Muhammad AliInteresting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee, also known as the "Muhammad Ali Rupee," was minted during the reign of Muhammad Shah (1735-1795) of the Nawabdom of the Carnatic, which was one of the Indian Hindu dynasties. The coin was made of silver and weighed 11.50 grams. It's interesting to note that this coin was issued during a time when the Nawabdom of the Carnatic was facing political instability and economic challenges, and the minting of this coin was seen as a way to stabilize the economy and promote trade.
