Weight varies 11.00-11.60 grams. Also see, http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=155002Interesting fact
The Muhammad Shah (Tatta) 1132 (1720) Rupee coin from the Mughal Empire (India) was made of silver, weighing 11.5 grams, and had a unique feature - it was one of the first coins in India to feature the name of the mint city, "Tatta," in the inscription. This was a significant departure from the traditional practice of only including the name of the ruler and the date of issue on the coin. The inclusion of the mint city's name indicated the growing importance of the Mughal Empire's provincial centers and their increasing autonomy in coinage production.
