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, King of the World, 1119-1123" on one side, and an image of a lion on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Mughal Empire during this period that featured animals such as lions, tigers, and elephants, which were symbols of power and strength.
