Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor at the time, but it was actually minted by the Princely state of Gwalior, which was one of the Indian princely states that were under the loose suzerainty of the Mughal Empire. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a princely state during the Mughal era, and it highlights the complex political and economic dynamics of the time.
