Comment
Rafi-ud-Darjat, Multan Mint, Silver Rupee, AH 1131/Ahad RYInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Muhammad Shah, also known as Rafi-ud-Darjat, who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1719 to 1748. This coin is a rare example of a silver rupee coin issued during his reign, as most coins from this period were made of copper or other base metals. The coin's design features the emperor's name and title in Persian, as well as the date of issue in the Islamic calendar. It is a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the Mughal Empire during this time.
