Comment
Azimabad = PatnaInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the Mughal Emperor of India from 1759 to 1806. He was known for his efforts to reform the Mughal Empire and restore its power and prosperity, which had declined significantly in the previous centuries. The coin is a reflection of the economic and political changes that were taking place in India during this time period.
