Interesting 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. He was known for his efforts to reform the Mughal Empire and restore its power and prosperity, which had been declining in the previous centuries. Despite his efforts, the empire continued to face challenges and ultimately declined in the centuries that followed. This coin serves as a reminder of that time period and the efforts of Shah Alam Bahadur to revive the Mughal Empire.
