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 Maratha Empire, which was a powerful Indian state that controlled much of the Indian subcontinent during that period. This coin is a rare example of a Mughal-era coin that was minted outside of the Mughal Empire's capital, Delhi.
