Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah (Munbai) 1138 Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was made of silver, weighing 11.44 grams, and had a unique feature - it was one of the first coins in India to feature the name of the mint city, "Munbai," in the inscription. This was a departure from the traditional practice of including the name of the ruler or the empire on the coin, and signified the growing importance of mint cities in the Mughal Empire's monetary system.
