Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam Bahadur, also known as Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1707 to 1712. He was the son of Aurangzeb and was known for his weak and ineffective rule, which led to the decline of the Mughal Empire. Despite this, the coin still holds historical significance and value for collectors and historians.
