Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shah Alam II, who was the ruler of the Awadh region in India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The coin features an inscription in Urdu on one side and a decorative design on the other, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. Despite its age, this coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians today.
