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 improve its economy, which had been declining in the previous centuries. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 11.45 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features intricate designs and calligraphy, which were hallmarks of Mughal coinage during this period.
