Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin from Bombay Presidency (British India) made of Silver and weighing 11.66g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II in 1825, which was a time of significant political and economic change in India, with the British East India Company's influence growing and the country moving towards colonialism.
