Comment
Ruler: Shah Alam IIInteresting 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. He was known for his efforts to reform the Mughal Empire and restore its power, which had been declining in the years leading up to his rule. Despite his efforts, the empire continued to face challenges and eventually declined further in the centuries that followed.
