Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was made of silver and weighed 11.44 grams. It's interesting to note that the weight of the coin was significantly higher than the weight of the modern-day Indian rupee coin, which is made of a combination of copper, nickel, and zinc and weighs only 2.8 grams. This highlights the difference in the value and purchasing power of the rupee over time.
