Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Ranjit Singh, also known as Kumber, who was the ruler of the Princely state of Bharatpur in India during the 12th century. Despite being a princely state, Bharatpur was known for its military prowess and was one of the most powerful states in the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 11.00 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
