Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin from the Princely state of Indore, made of Silver and weighing 11.6g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time. This coin is a rare example of a rupee coin issued by a princely state during the Mughal era, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item.
