Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Shah Alam II 1207 (1828) coin from the Mughal Empire (India) is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coins of the Mughal Empire that were made of copper or gold. This change in material was likely due to the scarcity of gold and copper at the time, and the use of silver allowed the empire to continue producing coins that were both valuable and widely available.
