Ruler: Shah Alam BahadurInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam Bahadur, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, and it features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shah Alam Bahadur, the Just King" on one side, and the other side features a stylized representation of the Lion and the Sun, which was a common motif in Mughal art and symbolized the power and authority of the Mughal Empire.
