Interesting fact

The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued by a princely state in India during a time when the British East India Company was expanding its influence in the region. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the blending of Islamic and European styles, which was a common feature of coins issued by princely states during this period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighed 11 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, likely used for large transactions or as a store of wealth.
