Comment
Ruler: Muhammad ShahInteresting fact
The Muhammad Shah Rupee, issued during the Mughal Empire in India, was one of the first coins to feature the image of a ruler, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic practice of not depicting human figures on coins. This coin features a portrait of Muhammad Shah, who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1719 to 1748, and was minted at the Ujjain mint in central India. The coin's design and the use of silver as the material reflect the influence of European coinage during this period.
