Comment
“ba luft ullah” couplet was used only during the first year of Muhammad Shah's reignInteresting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was one of the first coins to feature the image of a ruler, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic prohibition on depicting human figures. This coin features a portrait of Muhammad Shah, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, and was minted in Surat between 1131-1132 (1719-1720). This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and its unique design makes it a significant piece of numismatic history.
