Comment
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. He was known for his efforts to reform the Mughal Empire and restore its power and prosperity, which had declined significantly in the previous century. Despite his efforts, the empire continued to face challenges and ultimately declined further in the centuries that followed.
